Art Student Testimonials
This was probably the BEST painting class I've ever taken! Corinne was always prepared, had class objectives in place, and worked with us constructively from basic to more complex. It was fabulous! (Oil)
I loved the class. Ms Lu is an amazing teacher. Her presentation made complete sense and I could see improvement in my drawing almost immediately. (Drawing Fundamentals)
Nancy is an excellent instructor for students with some drawing & pastel experience. She helps each student progress at their own rate and provides wonderful feedback. When “stuck”, she gently guides you t the next step so you can continue to learn. She is a joy to be with and learn from. (Painting Pastels)
Valerie did an amazing job of creating and encouraging an open exploratory session that both encouraged beginning artists and inspired more experienced ones. It was the best class I have taken in years. (Mixed Media)

Mike is and engaging and talented instructor. His classes are enjoyable and informative. I feel my work has improved immensely under his instruction. (Intermediate to Advanced Wheel)
Fred not only taught me sculpture, but his approach to clay changed my practice throwing and hand building. I am more free to add and correct. It was a remarkable experience. (Sculpture)
