"This class is the most relaxing and enjoyable three hours of my week. Najim is an excellent teacher and so non-critical. He is so supportive. I feel he is allowing my artistic abilities to emerge with just the right amount of direction for me to learn. I am so glad that I met him and Caroline."–Lynne Perkins
