About My Classes My aim is for class to be fun and relaxing, while full of useful information, demos and techniques. I break everything down into small steps so it is never overwhelming. I know how easy it is to feel anxious about making art. This is a very supportive class and I'm happy to answer any questions and go over things again as needed.
