We were able to enjoy a hands on private learning experience on a tool we'd owned and been learning on by online tutorials for a few months. Being able to ask questions, work out problems and scenarios, and gain good tricks and tips on the machine was very helpful to our learning process, and I'm sure they apply the same dedication from our lesson to all of their classes and workshops. They are proficient in their knowledge of the different Orion Welders, and would be a great aid of information and training if you were interested in purchasing or learning about them.

PARKING There's a massive private parking lot outside the warehouse-style building. Available spaces are endless ~ You won't have a problem finding a space. II. SERVICE Accommodating and informative. They'll go out of their way to help you here. III. QUALITY Vast amount of selection of artwork on various mediums. I like this specific location because everything is up for purchase. So, it's not like you can just observe and move on ~ you can actually buy it if you want it.

The instant you walk through the door, it is obvious that this place was built on love and intention. The space is filled with art from floor to ceiling but doesn't feel cluttered. It kinda feels like a big, warm art hug when you walk through the doors. A lot of the art has a kind of "hippie/spiritual" vibe to it. The art filling the studio is colorful and expressive. They showcase multiple artists' work and have a few studios that you can walk through as well as the main gallery hall. When the weather starts warming up, they will be planing a garden and sculpture area outside as well. This outside area will be quite large, the same size as their indoor space. This is an amazing gallery and I already can't wait to go back!

I can't put into words how happy I am to have found Virginia. I've been singing backup vocals for a…read morefew years by just winging it, and always lacked confidence and structure that might help me feel good about my singing. I'm finding that confidence through working with Virginia. I love her organized teaching system; she provides enough structure to give you a path to follow while leaving plenty of room to be intuitive. I like her focus on placement, a concept I didn't even know existed beforehand. And I love her focus on grounding into yourself and seeking your own true expression of voice. I was lucky to meet Virginia just before the pandemic hit, so I had a few sessions in person at her studio in Wimberley. Since then we've worked through Zoom and it's been great. Virginia introduced me to the 'Original Sound' setting in Zoom, and with that set our virtual sessions are just as productive as being in the same room. Of course, nothing beats the vibe of being live in person, and I can't wait to get back there, but in the meantime I'm able to use this time to do the work I need to do. And Virginia is a great guide on that journey. She's always supportive, and very knowledgeable. She knows all the tricks to get me out of my head and into my true voice.

Our class was originally scheduled for 10:30 am, but our instructor was very accommodating when we requested the class to be pushed to 11 am the night before (we were out on the town & thought we may need an extra 30 minutes that morning). The routine planned for us was easy enough for beginners, but challenging enough at the same time. Our instructor was AMAZING! She was patient, inspiring, and so much fun! Watching her demo we were all awestruck! Each of us raved about our experiences & plan to take another class the next time we visit Asheville!

I nearly literally stumbled upon Elizabeth's studio in Riverview Station. I saw the work of the…read moreartist next door at Woolworth's Walk earlier in the week, and was peeking into the studio to see what was in her studio. Another artist who I'd purchased a piece from passed me in the hallway and mentioned Elizabeth's work, which is beautiful; like a fairy tale. I returned the following day and Elizabeth's studio happened to be open so I stopped in. Wow. I'm gobsmacked by Elizabeth's talent and how evocative her work is. The one piece I was able to see most clearly the day before was incredibly large and took up most of the wall facing the glass door, so I was so pleased to be able to go inside and see more. She has cards, prints of various sizes (most or all of them mounted to mat board), and when I was there framed and unframed pieces. She was working on something when I stopped in and it was neat to see her at work. She is warm and welcoming, and told me a bit about the work she's doing and the colors and elements that have been coming up in her work of late. I found two pieces in particular that I wanted (well... I wanted more, but one was a commission and one was more than I could comfortably afford at the moment), both quite different, but beautifully framed. The frame itself is a work of art, to be quite honest, and sets off the paintings beautifully. In the end, I wasn't able to decide between the two and took both of them. I spent more than I had intended to be sure, but I don't regret it one bit. Adding to my excitement is that these are the first pieces of original artwork I've ever owned! I can't wait to get them up in my home. I really appreciate Elizabeth being so generous with her time and giving me some insight into her background and process. It makes it more personal to me, and I'm so pleased to be able to enjoy her beautiful work. I'd love to commission a piece from her one day to complement the magic of these pieces. If you visit her you won't be disappointed, but you may leave with your wallet a bit lighter.

I ask for a refund, I was given the refund, then was invoiced (more than once) via email to pay the money back. I told the owner I would have gladly paid for the classes I took and did not get credit for had I not have been given the refund as I accepted that as closure to the question and then before starting to get the invoices I went out and signed up with another company. They would not give me my money back. I guess Cumbie and Troll wanted me to just forget their mistake and be out funds for two classes with two different companies. I also was not showing disrespect to the lady answering the phone as when I was ask who I talked to I did not know the ladys name and thought her accent would identify her. Yes I used the term "Oriental accent" to identify this person. I could have just as easily said white lady, etc. I do apologize if anyone takes offence to my way of describing this person. What has this world become, and group of people whom think they are so politically correct just to prove their point. This all could have been avoided if there would have been better communication of the company's part. But there was not. This was also apparent throughout the entire class as it took me over 30 minutes both time just to get logged onto the test to take it. It is not easy to get logged onto and by the time you get into the test you are a nervous wreck. The process is just very hard if you already have a learning disability as I do, with ADHD. I also felt the professionalism was very lacking with managament and class instructor, due to her yelling at me in class, unacceptable. I had a really bad experience with this company.
