NOTE: Classes are conducted depending on student registrations. Low enrollment may result in a class cancellation. It is important to contact the appropriate phone number in due time to state your intention of attending. Some store locations will often require pre-payment to reserve your space. Since this is often impractical, simply ask to speak with the manager and explain that you will pay upon arrival at the class. Also, please ask them to include your name on the list of attendees, thus allowing verification of student numbers.
Click on the Calendars below for the Monthly Art Class Schedules!
The Calendars are subject to change almost daily. Please check periodically for updates!
Note: Calendars were last updated 3/7/10 Classes that are listed as PRIVATE SESSION GROUPS are not "one-on-one" classes. My hectic schedule makes that unfeasible. Rather, these are "group" sessions which may involve businesses/co-workers, civic organizations, rec centers, church groups, even family reunions. If you wish to set up a class for YOUR "private" group, please contact me for details.
If You Cannot Attend a Given Class..............
Most of my classes are now filling to capacity and therefore "waiting lists" are being instituted in the event of any cancellations. If you are registered for a given class, but find that you will not be able to attend, please contact the appropriate location as soon as possible, so that another interested individual may fill that space.
