Atelier Indigo Guestbook
So many wonderful messages in the guest books for the 2014, 2015, 2016 and June 2017 exhibitions. Young and old wrote words that will stay with me forever, so touched were they. Unfortunately, I can't transcribe them all, but I wanted to share a small selection with you. The sentences are transcribed as they were written in the book available at the entrance to the exhibition. Heartfelt emotions guaranteed...
Also, I take this opportunity, to thank you all for your attentions and encouraging messages, it gives me strength, passion, desire and determination for Atelier Indigo to endure, enabling many children, teenagers or adults to blossom through Art. THANK YOU for this beautiful year 2016/2017. I'm very attached to all my students who give me so much joy and sharing, no doubt they will remain in my heart and memory, each in their own way. Let's continue this wonderful adventure...
And looking forward to the 5th anniversary!
Sandra Leitao Kupferschmid, October 2017
PS. a big thank you to all the parents who helped me set up or take down the exhibition, without you it would have been much more complicated. 100000000 thanks also to the mothers who helped me to secure the children's path to the gallery during the classes held there. A big kiss to Béatrice for the magnificent bouquets of flowers from her garden! unforgettable, once again.
