"Pat is a true mentor. A weekend with Pat is always filled with exciting discovery. She is a generous and creative teacher who will go to great lengths to help everyone understand, often resulting in a good laugh! Pat brings a depth to the material. When I return to my studio, I always find my teaching changed, enhanced, and  inspired."
