This class helps young artists improve their skills, try new techniques, and develop their creative voice. We’ll use both realistic and illustrative styles for a variety of class exercises, and students will get plenty of individual guidance on projects that they’re passionate about. (All skill levels and interests are welcome! Whether you’re interested in photo-realistic drawings or making webcomics, I’m happy to fuel your creative journey.)

There will be no class on April 9th.

Do you want to get into art, but aren’t sure where to start? Don’t really want to get supplies without knowing if you’ll like a new medium? This is your chance to try before you buy! Each week we’ll make a project using different materials and different techniques, so that you can get a feel for what you enjoy most. Options include acrylics, abstract pouring, watercolors, dry pastels, charcoal drawing, polymer clay, resin casting, block printing, and needle felting. (Class interest will determine the specific mediums and projects that we do.) All supplies are included!
