Fabulous Experience

Victoria’s online Eastern Repoussé was a fabulous experience. Her approach to teaching is well organized and techniques are thoroughly explained both live and with pre-recorded close up videos.
Victoria gave us thoughtful critiques as we progressed and I really enjoyed watching the show and tell presentations of everyone’s work.
I’d highly recommend this class and hopefully I will get a chance to take another one with her.

Fantastic Teacher

I learned repousse back in the 90’s, but haven’t done much since then.
I took a Zoom class with Victoria and my love of this technique has been reignited! She is a fantastic teacher and her methods make it so much easier to achieve amazing dimension and detail than how I originally learned.
It’s a really satisfying way to work metal and Victoria’s love of the technique really comes through in her teaching.
She is very thorough and explains everything in a way that is very easy to understand.

The Michael Bublé of Teachers

Victoria, you are the Michael Bublé of teachers.
If you’ve never seen him perform, it’s a real treat because he is so connected to his audience.
When he’s on stage it’s all about the audience, not about him. His ego is nowhere to be found, and you teach the same way.
You love what you do, and it comes through in your teaching. Thank you for that!

Victoria is a true artist and shares her gift teaching with patience, passion, good humor, and enthusiasm…

I just spent the most wonderful class with one of the best teachers that I have ever had the pleasure of learning from. Victoria is a true artist and shares her gift teaching with patience, passion, good humor, and enthusiasm…she has an infectious laugh, and you can’t help laughing with her while she encourages you to achieve levels of skill that you didn’t know you had. 11 of us had never done repousse ever before and all learned more from her in this one class than we thought possible. She spent time with each of us, pointing out better ways to solve whatever problems that we were having, pushing the metal around to make it do our bidding.
