    Lori

  • Enjoyed the Friday Night Fun art class. Nanci encouraged each person to create a unique piece and provided the expert instruction and quality materials to do so. The atmosphere was perfect—welcoming, inclusive, inspiring, relaxing and social. The light refreshments were a nice bonus. Will definitely return for another class!

  • Great pride printmaking class tonight. I don’t consider myself artistically inclined, but Nanci guided me and made me feel so comfortable in her studio.

    Francesca

  • I can’t say enough good things about this art class! Raul is incredibly patient and knowledgeable, making each lesson both enjoyable and educational. My skills have improved so much, and I always leave feeling inspired. Highly recommended.
