UPCOMING CLASSES

I offer art classes in Birmingham, Alabama in the Bluff Park Neighborhood of Hoover.  I'm always adding classes, so if you see something you'd like to take but it isn't listed, or you'd like to see it at a different time, just let me know!  

I usually only offer classes on Saturday January - April - so I have some really fun ones coming up!

After School Classes

Zentangle

 Weekly after school classes are based around a method of pattern drawing called Zentangle.  It helps develop drawing skills.  We also use other media - black and white ink, collage, kirigami, and we will use our skills to create a mixed media scene in a shadow box in November.
