Adult Classes Fall 2009 / Spring 2010
Adult Classes at Studio Arts are perfect for beginning students and for the more experienced artist who desires lots of individual guidance and relaxing studio time. Call it inspiration, if you prefer. Our instructors are working artists who understand that considerate, supportive instruction will help your creative spirit expand so you can rapidly gain new skills. No “killer crits” here. Just check out our studio. It is alive with the glowing energy of the children who have just left. Their work is available for viewing to inspire your grown-up soul. This year we've shortened our sessions to 6 weeks and lowered the price. We thought you'd like that. You can be assured that class projects will remain fresh and inspiring throughout the entire year.
