Disclaimer: This craft is not for the faint of heart. To some, it's addicting. To others, it has driven them mad. Whatever the result, it will make you feel all emotions within the one-hour window -- excited, nervous, angry, cheerful, and accomplished! I've successfully taught students from 7 to 70 years old.
