Make Wednesday afternoon painting classes your ongoing creative habit! We meet every week from 1-4 pm to be inspired, create and make new friends. How it works is you purchase 4 classes at a time. They run consecutively unless for any reason you can not make a particular class. In that case let me know in advance or just call or email me with at least 48 hours notice and I will move you to a class that works for you. No shows without notice will forfeit the class.I will be only doing demos every other week to allow more time for you to work on your own projects or finish up projects started in another class. You can purchase classes at any time as long as there is space available.
