A very good course, but a bit too much talking for me. Very useful teaching

Ik vond de cursus onverwacht kort en had graag nog meerdere technieken willen zien.
Het zet wel aan tot het werken met dit materiaal maar ik had er meer van verwacht.
Een beginnerscursus is dit voor mij. Misschien had dat erbij moeten staan?
