example of a VIRTUAL private class

  • Over the phone, we discuss your goals and set a time/date based on your availability for a video class (facebook messenger video, facetime etc.)

  • Before the class, set up your working space and prepare. This can range from gathering past works for critiques where you want direction and input for, or setting up materials/art space for a specific project (drawing, painting or mixed media).

  • The video chat begins with an overview, breaking down the steps for the task ahead so you feel comfortable, excited and it all feels achievable. You can choose to either follow along with a demo, or watch and then work at your own pace after the class. Follow-up sessions may include homework!

  • A summary is sent after class via email or text.
