I have signed up for quite a few courses because of Jenny's teaching ethics. She is down-to-earth and not scared to show if she makes a boo boo as that is part of the process of learning and taking your piece in a different direction. I like how versatile she is in her teachings with all different kinds of media and substrates. Also, she gives the best advice on products – the ones that do work or don't – to me that is a very important factor. She likes to encourage having fun, and most importantly, cares for her followers. She always seems to have time for everybody and she truly teaches from her heart. I am forever grateful.

I’ve taken all of Jenny’s courses!! Each time Jenny has pulled me in with her down-to-earth and positive message. She has transformed my art. I have literally been following her and taking her courses since I started my art practice. Now I feel like I could do just about anything. She has given me the confidence to try anything and everything, and encourages everyone who follows her. She loves what she does and is an amazingly supportive teacher.

Jenny Manno is an incredible teacher. She explains the process clearly and genuinely cares that we have fun and don’t stress if we make mistakes. She uses a variety of tools in her artwork – which help us to be more creative and free. She lets her students see how she works through problems, and as a newbie to art, I appreciate that so much. My skills have improved so much from taking her classes. Thank you, Jenny!
