 Class Offerings

I have been teaching art and writing classes for over 15 years!  I help students learn layout, lighting, color, and application of soft pastels. My writing classes are geared toward the art of picture book writing and draft layouts. I am available during the day, evening, and Saturdays. I can accommodate homeschooling groups, children, teens, and adults. My art classes usually run for two hours (less for younger children). 

 

Below are the classes I offer. Contact me below to schedule a class!

​

I recommend children under 12 being in a 1.5 hour class. A two hour class is $175. 

To find the materials for the classes, please check on my Amazon Supply List.
