Private classes offer a unique and personalized way to learn art. As your dedicated teacher, I will suggest a program that fits you, whether it’s just one class or an entire year of learning. No matter your skill level or experience, private classes provide a convenient and enjoyable way to develop your artistic abilities. You can choose when and how often you have classes, allowing you to go at your own pace and focus on what you want to learn.
Kids are welcome too! Our youngest students, ages 5-8, can take private classes with a parent present.
Rate: $140/hr Classes are conducted in-person or online. In-person sessions require a minimum of 2 hours. Sessions that require travel may be subject to additional cost.
