WORKSHOP / COURSE SYLLABUS 
Her workshops are mostly based on projects:

She usually prepares a kit beforehand, such as a wall hanging kit for the workshop. The kit includes detailed step-by-step instructions in doing the embroidery section and completing the whole project.

Her passion in ribbon embroidery also influences her style as an instructor. She prefers a small group, the most being 8 people per class. This is because in smaller groups, more personal attention can be given to her students, thus providing the best learning environment for each of them.

For the past years, the classes are divided into 6 sessions upon completion of the course.
