    The class met my expectations. It was very well presented the instructions were easy to follow. We had excellent examples of the finished products. So I was able to see that the task is dooable. Catherine was very knowledgable of her subject.

    Catherine did a great job explaining the process. I’ve did a lot of dyeing during the summer of 2020 using kits. She gave me confidence to move on to mixing my own batch. The folding was really helpful. I would take other classes from her.

    The class was so fun! I took it with a couple of my nieces and we had a blast. If I were to take the class again, I would pay attention to Catherine as she goes through the steps of folding and dyeing and then when she sends the link for the class, start the process for yourself. It’s so much easier to pause the video if you need extra time and resume when you are ready. I would highly recommend the class.

    The instructor was extremely competent and showed us various ways to create patterns on the cloth before dyeing. It was well worth the 2 hours and she was very accommodating and answered everyone's questions. I would take another class with her anytime.She was awesome!

    The class was informative giving the info on of a wide variety of folds. It went quickly but we were sent a link to re-watch so we could go back at our leisure and Catherine, our instructor told us to email with follow up questions.

    The class was too fast to follow based on the lack of setup details. Two stations are required: an ironing station with the laptop, then a second dyeing station with the water ready. I was scurrying about trying to keep up because I learn from doing, not from watching. The content was lightning fast and not really classroom-style teaching. If I wanted to watch a recorded video to learn, then I would have gone to YouTube. I signed up for a live class to follow along. There were several items that were not included on the supplies list like a drying rack, clean pennies, large paint sticks, and a respirator mask. The class materials should also recommend a number of items to dye. For instance, if there are 20 folds demonstrated then 20 towels should be recommended. I ran out of towels and had to use these napkins with a super thick seam that did not fold well. Avoiding thick seams is another tip for prep. The type of rubber bands was also important. Just really imprecise on the setup and materials list. It was a bummer to take the class as a result.

    I got this class as a Christmas present for my brother, sister in law, and SIL's brother and we really enjoyed doing the class together! Highly recommend having some practice pieces of fabric on hand before going all gung ho on ready made clothes like we did, but we all came out with some really unique pieces that will definitely be a staple in our wardrobe

    Catherine did a fantastic job at introducing the multiple patterns and techniques of shibori indigo making. She effectively covered a ton of material that left me motivated to go for it and having fun with this ancient craft.

    The instructor was clear, capable and gifted and she showed us many different ways to achieve our Shibori dye results. I don’t assign 5 stars as I felt that the class was a bit rushed and that more time could have been spent with us at the end while were dyeing our fabric. Although the instructor did ask if we had questions, by the time I actually started to use the indigo, and realized that I actually had questions (that needed to be answered in real time,) the class had ended.

    This class was great - not a full five stars because there were some technical issues with the video at first, but it was a very informative class! There were so many techniques to see and learn about. Catherine walked us all the way through to making/mixing the dye and even unfolding to see the finished products. She was awesome! It might be good if there was a multi-series class that covers some of the more intricate techniques (thread work) and also some pointers on composition of larger pieces like tshirts.
