All classes will be online…until we are all safe again 😷
After running online classes for several months now and I admit to being surprised at how much we are able to share our work through a combination of an online platform, our phones and our iPads 🙂 It’s been a sharp learning curve but we find ourselves enjoying a gathering of like minded friends to work on art, share stories and just connect when being connected is so hard. We all miss our friends and our lives but a few hours a week has proved to be a moment in the week that feels a little less disconnected.

It is for beginners and those with experience who want to continue to polish their skills.

After learning how to draw in graphite you will progress to color and learn how to use color pencil with lovely results. Please contact me via email for details.
