....( an email to the River Gallery Art School, Brattleboro, VT)....the Chinese Brush Painting course was fantastic.  I enjoyed it so much and was able to get some supplies right there.  Bruce is very knowledgeable about China and Chinese painting and he impressed me with his kindness and depth of knowledge, yet he was a joyful teacher who created joyful students.  I have very little fine motor control, but I was able to learn enough to get me started and want more...

....the workshop opened a door to creativity that was entirely new for me and with enormous amounts of satisfaction...it was wonderful

...very inspirational, I want to continue with more advanced work

...the class taught me to be less stressed out and to work more from my feelings than fine details

...instructor was very knowledgeable, helpful, and has a great sense of humor

...I waited all week to come to class, I loved it, enjoyed learning something new and the relaxation
   it brought with it

...I enjoyed the step by step instruction;  very relaxing, and beautiful results

...Bruce is well prepared, on-time, organized, kind and knowledgeable

...thoroughly enjoyable and relaxing
