A recent letter from one of my students:
Dear Paula,
Your metal clay classes at Collin College were wonderful! I learned so much from them and enjoyed meeting other metal clay artists. I have had great success selling jewelry that I have made using the techniques I learned in your classes. The only reason my name is not in lights is my full-time job!
I have intentions of pursuing full-time jewelry making within the next two years when I finally get to retire! And you can be sure that I will continue to follow you and hopefully get to take more classes.

I have had many classes hosted by special guest artists from around the world.
