Spring is great! And your workshop was so inspiring for the rest of the blooming and growing year!! And the view, and the ocean winds cooling you down after getting hot being involved in that dyeing process. . . . and the drive to the studio was winding and stunningly beautiful!

I had a grand day yesterday at the workshop. Your instruction was clear and very well prepared and also I appreciate having the written information. Have finished washing, drying and ironing the scarf and I am delighted with it. It was quite the best workshop I have attended and the setting was certainly the most beautiful.

I just love your classes—and enjoy each one more as I learn new concepts from you. . . . I think that I will be in serious withdrawal until the spring when you have new workshops!

A workshop with Ann Schroeder is an oasis of creative fun while enjoying the ambience of the incredible West Mabou shoreline. With a well-equipped studio and lots of ideas to share, Ann makes learning about colors and fabric a wonderful and encouraging experience. Ann has inspired me to want to learn more and to share with others. We have used her ideas and techniques to help us develop costumes and props for our dance troupe that are gorgeous. Thank you Ann for your openness and talent!
