Here are some viewer comments from the live event
  • This is a great class and all the supplies are clearly discussed and listed in a handout. The explanations were clear, the videos excellent. Well worth the price. I can see so many derivations and the use of metal clay as well as polymer clay. (comment on craftcast.com)
  • I am so inspired after tonight's class. I felt like I have been in a rut and didn't know what creative direction to do with my polymer clay. Now Helen opens a new world of textures and layered colors...can't wait to explore.   Page from Virginia 
  • This was an excellent webinar. It really accelerated my learning curve! I've wanted to take a class with Helen for two years - so glad for this opportunity. Thanks!  (Johanna)
  • Really enjoyed the class and can't wait to have a go at making a couple of wrap bracelets for my holiday in March.  Rosemary from Australia 
  • Hi Helen, I just wanted to tell you that I really enjoyed your class on Craft Class. You did a really good job. You’re a natural teacher.     Dawn from Missouri

  • I just have to say THANK YOU Alison for bringing one of my idols - Helen Breil - to craftcast! I've been an admirer of Helen's for a loooong time. Was totally enamored of her wrap bracelets since I saw them a few weeks before you announced her class here! So, thank you Alison! And, thank you, Helen for sharing your techniques  NJ
