Our Teachers

The wonderful world of art starts with our outstanding teachers, many award winning and some nationally recognized in their specialized field. We are an art collective with a community of artists, each running his/her own classes. This allows our teachers to grow in their field and continue to work in the art community. Please contact the teacher directly for class information and to sign-up.
