“My partner Joan and I attended Gare’s two-day New Studio Training Workshop instructed primarily by Gare Artist Mary Ann O’Hearn. Joan and I have been in awe by the entire experience since we left! I can’t remember the last time we’ve learned that much in a two-day time period!! Your staff is exceptional, your warehouse immaculate and incredibly efficient...we just can’t tell you how impressed we were and we look forward to attending another! If you decide to run more frequent workshops, we will be there and we will certainly spread the word!
