"Justine presents her material very clearly but also with a passion for the craft. Her holistic point of view is extremely refreshing and opens up many doors that a purely technical class would not. I have felt inspired by this class and am just beginning to explore all the new directions this has taken Eco Printing for me. I would highly recommend Justine as a teacher and hope to work with her again in the future." (Course Graduate)
