Testimonials
Teri says "All my sisters could about was the great time they were having at Stacia’s studio and that I should check it out. After 3 months of their badgering and insistence that I would love it, I finally attended a silver clay art class. That very evening, I walked out with a completed piece. WOW-What a rush! I have been attending every week since as my travel schedule permits. I can’t wait for open studio on Thursday evenings and a relaxing, fun, creative and inspiring time at Creative-Escapes.?"
Teri goes on to say that "I want to quit my day job and play in Stacia’s studio all day!"
