I had never heard of Tyvek paper before. Love the sound and the movement made by the flag book.

Faith is all around amazing, I always learn something watching her, and I never tire of her classes. Her style is casual and precise- what? How? It’s true though- thorough and accessible. What more could you want from a teacher?
