Metalsmithing Classes:
“I’ve been taking metalsmithing classes with Carol for several months. She is a wonderful instructor and shares her knowledge, tools, lessons, design guidance and allows her students to develop their skills and create finished jewelry pieces in a relaxed, calm studio space. I am excited to continue learning from Carol and Laborata Studio and improve my silversmithing skills! I highly recommend taking a silversmith workshop and you will enjoy the amazing experience of a creative community!”

Acupuncture Clinic w/Chakra Balancing and Qigong Classes:
“I started going to Charka sound healing/ auricular acupuncture sessions given by Carol Ellis at Laborata Studio a few months ago not fully knowing what to expect. What I found was a calm and inviting space and a deep relaxation and calmness that I very much needed! Carol is so knowledgeable in her field and her warmth and kindness are reflected in her treatments.”
“I have been taking weekly Qigong (meditative movement) classes with Carol for over a year now and highly recommend her. She comes to class prepared and explains things well. Working with her has had a very positive impact on my life. I am so glad that I found her! She is an excellent teacher overall. I have also had some Chakra Sound Healing & Auricular Acupuncture sessions with Carol and will definitely be going back for more in the future.”
“Carol Ellis is a wonderful teacher. She brings her wealth of training into every class she teaches. I have attended Qigong, Stretching for Mobility, and Chakra Sound Healing & Auricular Acupuncture with Carol. She has tremendous patience and teaches to groups of students of varying abilities. She has a way of making everyone feel comfortable in her classes. Carol knows a great deal about human anatomy and I appreciate the way she explains what each movement is doing for our bodies. I wholeheartedly recommend taking any of Carol Ellis’s classes.”
“Carol is the best Qigong teacher I’ve ever participated with, in a meditative movement class. Her expertise in auricular acupuncture is equally excellent leaving me with a great sense of well being. I’m grateful for having found Carol as a teacher and acupuncturist. “
