Really versed in the subject matter and expects you to take class seriously. Goes out of her way to help you be successful in the project while teaching you history and respect for the craft. Don't take this class if you expect a lightweight do what ever you like class for a grade.

The best class I have ever taken but also the hardest. Professor is absolutely amazing and very knowledgable. She is also kind and fair. You will work your tail off and learn so much. Definately not a class for slackers .

Lisa is incredible! Her passion for the craft comes through in every demo. Metalwork is extremely hard and time consuming, but the end result is always worth it. She can be tough, but only because she wants you to succeed and gain as much knowledge/skill as possible in a short period of time. If you get a chance to be in her class, take it!!

You will learn a lot in Lisa's class! She really cares about you succeeding in metals. The projects are challenging, but you'll be really excited about what you've made in the end. She can be harsh at times, but it's from a place of her wanting you to really do the best you can do. Stick with it and you will see the rewards of your work!

Lisa is one of the coolest, most inspiring professors I have ever had. I feel honored to have learned from her, she is truly one of the best in her field. She is tough, but she provides her students with the skills and resources they need. Be prepared to work hard & dont get offended by her blunt personality. One of my favorite classes ever.
