My skills as an artist have grown significantly as a result of Shane’s classes. He creates a very encouraging, supportive and collaborative environment in his classes, helping artist stretch their skills, grow and take risks in their artwork. I can’t say enough good things about Shane who is a very talented artist in his own right. Shane is a wonderful teacher, very generous in sharing his knowledge and techniques to help other artists grow and improve. I highly recommend Shane McDonald as a teacher and as an artist. You will be so glad you found Shane and feel fortunate to learn from him.

He is fantastic! Works well with you and is super encouraging. I can’t wait to see how my art progresses with his instruction.

I have always wanted to learn how to pattern and make clothes and costumes for quite sometime. I searched on google and I came across Lessons.com and typed in lessons for a beginner in sewing and understanding patterns. Stray Cat Strut ATL answered right away!!!:D I then chatted with Alicia about what I wanted to achieve in sewing and from there, we set up my first class. Working with Alicia has truly been a remarkable experience. She is very kind, patient and makes me feel soo happy and excited to learn all the techniques it takes to make beautiful and amazing clothes. She breaks it down bit by bit, from fabric choice, to reading and understanding patterns, and to sewing certain stitches for certain garments. From each of her lessons, I have gained more confidence and knowledge about using a sewing machine and reading patterns!!!:D
