BACK TO BASICS MONTH
WELCOME TO OUR January THEME MONTH, Back to basics! OUR CLASSES will be a mix of subjects THat involve working on our fundamental art skills through a variety of classes and methods.
We are so thankful for all our students and in order to be able to keep offering all of these free lessons we are switching to a donation model. We suggest $5-10 per class, but anything you want to give is graciously appreciated. In addition to all of our free classes we are offering both private lessons and semi-private lessons. You can make a donation by clicking here.
