Art Student Testimonials
I really enjoyed the weekend workshop with David. He provided a wealth of information, and it is obvious he is very knowledgeable and passionate about the medium. I felt very ready to dive into pastels! I left the workshop with two new art pieces and plenty of helpful feedback on how to improve. I definitely recommend this class! (Pastels)
 
Sue was a dedicated instructor. She took the time to explain the different types of brushes, paints, paper and techniques for painting with watercolor. She demonstrated painting techniques and appropriately gave suggestions to help us when needed. Sue is pleasant and fun to be with. I am looking forward to her next watercolor class. (Beginner Watercolor)
 
Kathy is a wonderful instructor. She ensures each student is progressing at their own level in order to feel successful with their project. The class is lively and challenging thanks to Kathy's teaching skills! I love her classes. (Intermediate Watercolor)

Pottery Student Testimonials
I loved this class and am now SO EXCITED to continue with pottery. Mike and Kiki were very patient with all of us beginners. The instructions were good; then we had time to experiment, fail, work through problems, etc... Instructors were very good about answering all of our questions, giving us individual help, sitting down and talking us through a process or demonstrating. (Basic Wheel)
 
Kiki was fantastic and fun. She was aware of safety and comfort for my 85 year old mother and my sister who suffers from left-sided weakness after a stroke. Michael was fun too, and he demo'd our projects. They were both so helpful and available to assist, and most of all - they were both patient! We all had a great time and would do it again.

Fred not only taught me sculpture, but his approach to clay changed my practice throwing and hand building. I am more free to add and correct. It was a remarkable experience. (Sculpture)
