“I just want you to know how much I learned from your class and how much I loved the process. It was my first Zoom class and I was so surprised how well you organized it. I didn’t want it to end. You are a great teacher and I look forward to seeing you for another class!”

“I have a troubled relationship with plastic (I guess we all do); I never thought I would want to collect it, observe it closely, or care about how it behaves, but I am going to continue playing with it and making things from it.”
