After my demo for the Mersea Island Art Group, I received this note from the organiser:
'Hi Susan,
Thanks for a great evening on Friday, I have been with my group and that is confirmed.
I have not heard so much praise before and it was genuine. Ann a lady who was in the front row brought in her attempt at something based on your demonstration, Pat also on the front row brought in her scarf and cards and four started flower works during the morning. I have never seen so many being influenced by a demonstration. They all want you to come again.
Thanks again
Mike
