PRIVATE CLASSES
I offer customized private classes for those wishing to explore both general and specific aspects of mixed media and collage. These may be single day or multi-session, depending on individual interests and level of experience. Classes may also be virtual if desired.
While I make most of my personal materials and supplies available for student use, if a class requires any specialized materials, that will be discussed at the time of scheduling and a supply list will be provided. Students are always welcome to bring their own materials to use in class.
