"As a Manager of a retail store, I was looking to find a unique and fun workshop that my local L.A. clients would enjoy. I partnered with Hilary to explore ideas of what we can offer, and decided on her Indigo Shibori Workshop where clients could make their own Shibori Silk Lavender Restorative Eye-Pillow. Hilary and her herbalist Flin were amazing with my clients, and provided a fun and unique experience where they could learn a new skill. The event was such a hit, more of our retail stores will be offering this workshop. I too, look forward to doing a second workshop with Hilary in the future." - Danielle

"These workshops have given me an opportunity to re-ignite my creative side and to create art that is not only beautiful, but also useful in my home - something that brings me a sense of pride. The workshops themselves are very relaxed and Hilary has a great way of making everyone feel comfortable as an artist. I can't wait for the next one!" - Jenn Contreras
