Art Classes for November and December 2014

The year is winding down and I know we are all getting busy, but taking the time for a colorful and creative art class will make all the difference!

My classes are “drop-ins”, meaning you can one time or every week. It’s up to you! We’ll do something different every time. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, you’re sure to learn something.

The cost includes supplies, but bring an apron or a smock. You are welcome to bring your own supplies just remember we’re on the 2nd floor. I also offer gift certificates which can be used toward classes or artwork. Consider getting gift certificates for your friends and family.

All classes are offered at my studio: Life Needs Art, 220 N. Main St., 2nd floor, Hudson, Ohio 44236.
