“North Pole Studio celebrates and honors the differences among artists. They hold high standards and always presume competence.
It is a safe place for artists with different communication methods who may not feel welcome in a typical class. As a caregiver, it's refreshing to not have to explain or justify a person's "different" behavior, and instead see it welcomed by the instructor without question.”
