Watauga Arts Council

Fun learning environment. I learned a lot and was able to try something I would not have tried on my own. I am very interested in another mosaics class. Cindy was so informative, encouraging, and approachable. Also am interested in trying a class in something else after this good experience!

This class was so fun, creative and relaxing! Cindy Michaud, our wonderful instructor, created this environment and encouraged us to be bold and have fun with mosaics. I had never done mosaics before and I felt confident after Cindy’s instructions and left with a beautiful new mosaic project I could keep in my home. Cindy supplied everything for us and made it really easy. The fellow students were so nice, too. All in all an excellent experience. I cannot wait til my next class at Watauga Arts Council!

Pamela’s class was just what I was looking for to start exploring boro and Japanese art of slow stitching. She was very generous with her time and ideas and as an added bonus I think I made some new friends.

Thank you for offering the class. It was a very good experience and I am interested in more classes. The instructor was excellent.

Excellent class. Lindsay is an excellent teacher. She is very knowledgeable and makes learning fun. This creates a great classroom environment.

Theresa was a fabulous teacher. I would definitely take the class again and bring friends.

I really enjoyed the drumming class. Khalid is an amazing instructor, so patient and so very inspiring. I hope to continue to take more of his classes.

Learnt so much in just four class meetings. Linsey Carroll is an excellent teacher. Want to take more classes with her.

Excellent! Such an encouraging and relaxing class. She is wonderful!

This class was perfect for me. The skills and techniques were right at my level and pushed me forward. Pamela is not only knowledgeable and skilled, she’s encouraging and uplifting in a way that made me feel that I could achieve more than I would have pushed myself to do without her. I would take any class she teaches.
Thanks to WAC for making classes like this available.

I LOVE this class. Theresa is such a great instructor. She plans plenty of activities and brings great examples to get us started. I would love to take this again and again!

Wonderful atmosphere with friendly, encouraging and supportive instructor and classmates. Cindy is an outstanding teacher and so helpful with ideas and execution! Please have her back for more mosaic classes!

Cindy is an amazing art teacher. At the first class, I was nervous since I am not an artsy person (or I should say I WASN’T an artsy person), but she explained each step with clear instructions, showed us the process as many times as we asked, and helped all of us throughout. Her sense of humor put us at ease and built a community from what was once strangers. She gave freely of her time, extending the class hours and even offering a make up day. The last day, Cindy told us where her studio is and remarked that our relationships and learning with her weren’t over - that we can drop in her studio for help as needed. We are all anxious for more classes from her - if Cindy offers a class, I’ll be there!

Cindy is an incredible teacher, assisting when needed / asked for / appropriate, allowing creativity to emerge always, offering wonderful suggestions, & always positive!! I love the classes & greatly appreciate Cindy!! Thank you Cindy & Thank you Watauga Arts Council!

It was a great class and I appreciate the time and planning of our instructor. Each week we learn a new technique and she was very encouraging and insightful. I would take her class and recommend her!!! She is amazing!

Cindy Michaud is a wonderful teacher; I really enjoyed her instruction.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Mosaic class that Cindy taught each Tuesday for 5 weeks. She was a wonderful teacher who created such an inspiring environment to learn in. It was so much fun! I’m looking forward to doing more classes in future. Thank you for an amazing experience :-)

Cindy Michaud was a wonderful instructor- knowledgeable and patient. The facility accommodated our project just fine.

The instructor was amazing and the class a ton of fun.

Such a wonderful workshop!

Erin Banks is a fantastic teacher - provides supportive feed back to the students and encourages them to look at things in a new way while honoring their unique talents. Teaches valuable techniques so students can fine tune their skills and better express their personal creativity. Highly recommend!

Wonderful class! Jasmine is an awesome instructor!

I thoroughly enjoyed the class with Lindsay Carroll! I appreciated her instruction and feedback on my paintings and look forward to continuing working with the limited pallet!

Erin is a fantastic teacher and introduced my son to new techniques and ideas. He had a blast and his confidence is growing. Only sad thing is it felt short!

Lindsay is a wonderful artist and teacher. The class was relaxed and fun! I’m just sorry that I won’t be able to take her upcoming class in March due to a scheduling conflict.

Awesome class – very informative! Cindy was excellent – assisting when needed & providing learning opportunities. She offered helpful tips for design & colors. The group setting was fun & relaxed as we all admired each others’ work & creativity. I will definitely watch for more mosaic classes to be offered! Thank you!

This class was excellent! Theresa walked us through a visual journal and helped unlock our creativity. Just what I needed! Thank you.
