Learn to use watercolors or expand your skills in this fun 12-week class!
Watercolor is seen as a challenge for many though with practice you can harness the ebb and flow of watercolors. We will learn various techniques used in watercolor and work on both painting projects together as well as work on subject matters of your choice from a variety of subjects. This class is great for beginners or for people wanting practice in different techniques or to hone their skills.
This class is taught in English.
We will NOT have class the week of Thanksgiving.

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:
Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
