Student Comments:
I have received some pretty heartwarming comments from students, but this one made me weak in the knees....I'm sharing
it with the permission of Barb, the student who wrote it (thanks, Barb..I am so flattered..).... "I want to thank you
so very much for sharing yourself and your amazing expertise. You are an amazing artist with the rare ability to share your
knowledge with others. As you said to me in our class, I have had the good fortune to learn from several incredibly talented
artists and teachers but you are certainly one of the best. The hours and hours of time required to develop your skills and
expertise is extremely impressive. I recognize after spending 2 days with you that your incredible creativity allows you to
come up with techniques no one else has thought of. Then the hours of work you put into preparing for the class is very evident.
Finally, you explain things so clearly and in such detail that I understood immediately what I needed to do to produce a beautiful
polymer cane. But more than anything else, your sincerity and openness allowed me to truly enjoy you and therefore my entire
weekend. Everytime I look at my cane I can't stop myself from smiling. That feeling of happiness is priceless."
SugarHouseStudio I
am now teaching workshops and private lessons from our newly renovated all-purpose building in the Sugar House district
of Salt Lake City (the lovely room where multi-student workshops will be held is shown below; private lessons will be held
in my personal studio, also located in this building). If you'd like to be added to the workshop mailing list
or have questions about workshops or private lessons, please click here, or email me at jana@janarobertsbenzon.com
Come join in the fun as we create and laugh and learn together....the
Salt Lake area has a great core group of clayers who love getting together! We'd love to have you join us, whether
you're a beginner or intermediate clayer!
