Featuring a different art medium each week, you’ll create finished art works to display in your home in these cool, casual studio sessions. Bring your own wine and we will provide the rest.

Yupo is a compelling and unique alternative to traditional art papers. In this guided painting workshop, you will create a watercolor masterpiece!

This workshop will explore handbuilding techniques in our clay studio. You will complete 1 finished project that will be fired and ready to pick up in 3 weeks.

I am one of those people who played “Art Teacher” to my younger brother and sister, at age 6. I have always loved drawing, painting, and the visual world. Clay is just a wider field of expression in the creative field. So I like to teach my passion about this medium with the hope that my students also find it fascinating.

I enjoy all aspects of clay: wheel throwing; hand building; and sculpture. With my BFA in painting I tend also to combine painting with certain forms. My approach to teaching is to encourage every student to find their own “voice” in clay. Discovering clay’s huge range of possibilities, sharing what I have learned over a decade of teaching, and seeing students explore what clay can do, make it an exciting medium to teach.
