Creative Sketching and Painting
Creative Sketching and Painting wasn't what I thought it was. We dabbled in more mediums than just drawing and painting so I really enjoyed that it was different every class. I always look forward going to class cause I find this very calming and mediating creating something in a quiet environment. Takes me away from the hustle and bustle for a moment. -

Studio Time with a Live Model
There were only 3 others attending besides myself, and I was the only one drawing and not sculpting. I signed up for what I thought would be a completely uninstructed live model drawing session... which I basically what I got. However the sculptors received copious tips/instruction, which was fine but a heads up if talking would bother you when you’re in the zone. There was also a cat that roams the place, as a note for anyone with allergies. The model was great, 15 minute posing then a short break. -

Jess is a great teacher and person! I highly recommend -

Great Teacher! -
Urban Sketching
I thought this class and the teacher, Jason, were fantastic! He really took the time to meet with each of us and help us to perform out best. The only downside, which I think is my fault, is that I thought this be more beginners/fundamentals class for drawing as a whole, not this specific genre. -
Urban Sketching
Jason is a terrific teacher and I learned a lot in this course. It really could have been longer as there is so much good stuff to learn. I hope it's offered again in the same or advanced form. -

Drawing Workshop
I had the best time with this class. I have never taken a formal drawing class before and boy I needed to. I was always so frustrated trying to capture things that I see onto a page. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a star pupil by any means but in one class, I really started to get it. The great teaching and atmosphere really helped things to click in my head that will forever influence the enjoyment I derive from creativity and drawing. I think I can really do it. I will definitely be back get some more guidance. Such a great time. -
