Melissa speaks very clearly and succinctly, making it easy to understand and follow her instructions. The photos/videos of the active work is slow enough and magnified enough that I can understand it without many reviews. Her work is beautiful, and her teaching abilities gives me confidence to dive into this medium and create finished pieces.
