“Thank you for putting together this great experience for my son! He didn’t go with any friends and I was a little worried that he wouldn’t find it as ‘fun’ without having company but to my surprised, he loved the session so much. He was so proud of his work when he came home with it and I love the beautiful piece myself as well.”- Jo
