I have learned from some amazing artists and mentors and I have been influenced by the style by which they carve. We had guest speakers in the class often, which actually led to a job for me.  I plan to start my apprenticeship with a carver who visited the class.

It was a struggle to make arrangements for the payment plan and work full-time on my studies.  I was extremely grateful for the awards I received.  The Freda Diesing award helped me pay for my second semester and a bursary helped me pay for my tools.
