We had the privilege of being his students for two sessions while visiting from Orange County, California. We completely enjoyed being in his studio while we quickly learned skills in observation, sketching and shading. We were thrilled with our drawings and will return when back in the area. In addition to learning while having fun, we also appreciated the ease and accuracy of the website and Rob's responsiveness to us as we checked out the Scribbles Institute. He is an artist and an excellent communicator that facilitated our decisions on classes as well as our own expressions of ourselves as artists. It was a lovely experience and I'd recommend Rob and The Scribbles Institute to any age and anyone.

He has the ability to take "non-drawers" and bring them through a series of exercises that allow them to find their artistic confidence in no time; at the same time he has no trouble keeping very artistic students challenged. His peaceful demeanor helps create a safe and quiet work space that is so much needed in today's society. His studio in the Sash Mill has the same feeling to it. Students are now going down there to draw on the weekends!

After asking lots of questions over email (Jackie was very patient), we agreed on a rough design, a timeline, and a fair price. A few weeks later we went into the shop to finalize the pieces of glass and to see the design she sketched. Jackie showed us a few options on colors and we decided on a border. When we were done, we explored the shop -- lots of wonderful items. A few more weeks later, Jackie completed the project and we returned to the shop to see her masterpiece. She recommended an installer (Dane) who we booked for the following week. Dane's pricing was fair and he stopped by in advance of the installation day to make sure he understood the project. We are delighted with the otter stained glass. Jackie is a true artist and a pleasure to work with.

I arrived around 11am and was excited to pick out fabrics for a new quilt project and had high hopes for this place! Unfortunately, I was told they don't have a public restroom which of course made the experience rushed and uncomfortable after several hours on the road. I was hoping to take my time looking and picking out fabric but ended up only grabbing a zipper before needing to move on...and I still wasn't able to use the restroom before leaving. During my brief stop, I did notice some cute Ruby Star Society fabric, lots of notions, a variety of materials, and bins of $4.50 fat quarters. I wish I had been able to enjoy more.
