ARTIST TIPS - 

• Wear clothes that you don't mind getting paint on.
  ​Art can be messy and the aprons don't cover everything. ;) 
• Arrive 10-15 minutes early to get a good seat.
• REGISTER in advance! Spots are limited and fill up quickly!
• Feel free to bring snacks and/or drinks.
• Relax, have fun and let your creativity flow!

FAQ's 

• Do you have a retail location?
  Not at the moment. I am teaching workshops from my home as well as Full Circle Nine Gallery, where I rent wall space. I also have various events that I host at local restaurants. I hope to have a public, retail studio again soon.

  Check out the "art parties" section under Art Classes and Parties for info.

• What is the difference in an "Art Party" and an "Art Class or Workshop" 
  An "art party" is a private event hosted by another person, facilitated by me at their location. Art Parties have an 8 person minimum. See below for pricing. 
  An "art class" or "art workshop" is a class held at my home studio where you can attend without having to have a group of 8. These classes are open to the public.
  A variety of classes are available, come alone or with a group!
