What Customer/Students are Saying about Nita’s Lessons

“I do have to tell you that you have renewed my excitement and love of carving. I had searched for so long for a step by step video for so long and could not find one. Then I stumble across your website and it is awesome. I love the fact that the camera zooms in on what you are doing and that you repeat what you are showing several times. Thank you Nita for making carving exciting and fun.” – Cathy Rosenthal

“I placed an order on the 30th of April this year for my first purchase of the 11 week course and my Kom Kom knife set. Well, here we are in July the 22, 2013, 3 months later, these are my creations. I also purchased the DVD with Jimmy Zhang. I thank you for all that you and Jimmy has taught in these easy to follow demonstrations. I have a brain on overload when I go into a produce shop. I look at produce in another light….I have included some of my photos for your viewing. I enjoy and love watching, simple in produce, produce come to life, under the aid of carving tools, mixed with unlimited imagination, something so beautiful. I do get the WOW’s and OMG!!!, and more with the displays. I give away most to very grateful people. And lastly, thank you for making mistakes, I learn from them….I do also, I will, and always will, learn from mine also. Kindness and Blessings to you! Sue
