“Enjoyed the time spent with other artists, sharing ideas and working quietly together in a creative environment.”
— ANONYMOUS“I was interested in the collage class (when it was slated to be offered in person) but could not attend as I live in Long Beach. When it shifted to an online format I was able to join. At first I wondered how we could fill 3 hours of time together on Zoom, but the time flies. We learned new techniques, shared our work (easily done using the Share Screen function), and spent time collaging in real time. The online format also allowed other artists to join our class to talk about their work, something that would have been difficult to accomplish if we met in person as many artists don’t live locally or would not have been able to make the trip to the studio. Doing the class online also allowed us to see “inside” the artists’ studio. We were able to see Sybil’s studio and the ways she organizes her work space. Other positives include no commute time, a relaxing environment where we all had access to our own tools at home. I’m a big fan of the online class. Keep them coming as I will continue to register!”

— ANNE PORTER“I loved the class and found it inspired me to create. I also enjoyed the project the other members of the class shared on zoom. I was grateful for the online class, and would not have been able to attend otherwise. Thank you for offering this course.”
— CLAIRE HSU ACCOMANDO“Wonderful, thoughtful, caring, clear instructions, the class became friends very quickly on line, Sibyl really knows her subject matter.”
— CAROL DENENBERG“My first Zoom class experience and it was wonderful. A small, friendly, and enthusiastic group sharing their love for altering books. Sibyl is a knowledgeable and enthusiastic teacher. I look forward to taking another class in the fall.”

She leads with a positive attitude and all students’ work is recognized whether they are experienced artists or first time beginners. There is a camaraderie in the class between students and with Sibyl. It might not seem possible working through Zoom, but it is real. Sibyl Rubottom is experienced at drawing, painting, book arts, graphic design and sewing. She is a quilt maker, and has designed and hand painted quilts, wall hangings and pillows. She uses the sashiko technique.”
