I have to agree with the last post. Being cynical is not just being human but becoming more and more engrained in today's society especially in the US. People are not trusting corporations and businesses, government institutes, religious institutions, schools, neighbors, and even is some cause their own families as they used too. And when it comes to higher education there is reason to be cyanical. For profit schools like Everest, ITT, Phoenix, and the now infamous Trump university took tons of money from students without giving them a proper education. I mention these schools because when I read the first post and watched the video those were the first thing that came to mind even though the art academy clearly isn't trying to be an institute mirroring those mentioned. Even after I looked into more and mentioned it to my wife the first thing she asked is "Its not another one of those schools."
With that being said, after reviewing all I could find online and a brief one on one, the instructors involved certainly help solidify the legitimacy of the institute. The cost is reasonable if someone wants the opportunity to advance in calligraphy and seek more than a hobby. I for one have become very interested in this opportunity and have seemed more info on a one to one basis. My brief convo with Suzie was informative and her passion is undeniable.
If you compare what's charged per envelope for a wedding, it would seem this investment could pay for itself very quickly.
