~please note that a one-day workshop will not qualify you for the skill level in the classes below~
The classes below are for experienced students only. There are no online sign ups for these classes. If you are joining us with experience from a different studio we highly recommend working one on one with an instructor before requesting to be in a class. This is to ensure that you are placed in the appropriate class for your skill level when a spot opens up.
Requests are first come first servewith priority given to students that were signed up for the previous session. Although we wish we could accommodate everyone, these classes often fill quickly with returning students. If you miss out, reach out to us about private lessons! Please be patient with our slow response time after classes are announced as we let the requests come in before getting back to everyone.
"THATS A WRAP!" w/ Emery Wenger MONDAYS 6:30-9:30pm: LEVEL: EXPERIENCED BEGINNER STARTS May 13th (6 WEEKS) COST: $690 This class will focus on adding fun & funky colorful WRAPS to your pieces to make them more visually interesting.

We will do lip wraps, body wraps, textures wraps, melted in wraps, spiral wraps, wacky wraps, and whatever else we can think of. This class is anyone with one or more 6 week classes under their belt. *please note, this class will not be meeting on May 27th*
