We offer ongoing enrollment in our weekly classes- no fixed start or end dates!

Plan to attend multiple classes to finish projects. You may book multiple weeks or months in advance at a discounted rate

You’ll work on projects in cycles. You won’t finish everything you start unless you also work independently during open studio time

Classes provide two hours of instruction plus an hour of independent open studio time. (A scheduled open studio orientation outside of class is required before students can sign up for the additional hour included in class)

Students who have take an orientation may purchase a weekly open studio pass at $30/week for additional practice
