    Nicely equipped, rather well stocked, & well lit intimate setting w/room for 4 people doing their projects. The talented instructor answered questions readily and was very helpful throughout the 2-hr session. I came away w/a very nice business card holder.

    A little more direction before cutting and assembly. I really liked how quiet the space is during class, but I made some simple mistakes that might have been avoided with just a little more guidance.

    One of the best classes I've taken. The cardholder you make looks super professional and you learn from a talent artist / designer / creator. Plus it's so fun to learn the technique which you can use to make other items. I look forward to taking another class with Hena.

Question from James K.
Hi, one quick question about engraving initials you mentioned above, Is this gold foil hot stamping with engraving? The finished look is the same as your reference photo? Thanks in advance.
Answer from Brenda L. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi James! You have three options. Embossed, gold and silver foil. The reference photo is from their own logo setting. They use basic font for student’s engraving. Please see this photo: http://prntscr.com/ram9dd
