Following on from our initial success, we have extended our classes to include 8-week courses in drawing, painting, stained glass and figure sculpture. We also offer weekend workshops in digital photography, jewelry and printmaking, and are expanding into ceramics, basic carpentry and glassblowing.

The classes are open to complete beginners and we try to accommodate most ages. The age range so far is mid-twenties to mid-forties, with our youngest student at eleven. The class sizes are small enough to teach a variety of ages and skill levels.
