Nora Hall classes Opinions please

I have the opportunity to take 4 days of classes given by Nora Hall.
I'm wondering what the consensus is about her work and methods. The
little I've read is that she does 'european' carving. How does that
differ from plain ol' carving? I've also read that her work is mostly
architectural carvings and seem to my eye very accomplished but
somewhat too ornate for my taste. My reason for getting into carving
was to create woodspirits and some mild architectural carvings on
table/chair aprons and legs. So, I guess what I'm asking is if her
classes in her style of carving are way over the head of this rookie
carver. All opinions will be gratefully considered. Thanks.
