Classes + Supplies

Welcome!

I’m so thrilled you’ll be joining me for a class. We’re going to have a great time playing with paint!

My classes are designed to be accessible with the most basic supplies. You can borrow a brush and watercolor set from a kid in your life, grab whatever pencil and waterproof pen you have on hand, along with a mug of water and some paper towels, and be ready to fully participate!

The links below are provided for those who have interest in what products I use and recommend, or who may be ready to invest in some new goodies. No need to purchase to take part. If you do purchase from these links, I will make a small commission as part of Amazon’s affiliate program. Your support in this way helps me keep making art.

No matter what supplies you use, you’ll learn new techniques, meet like-minded people and feel good about investing in your creativity!

Upcoming Classes

Walk on the Wild Side: Nature Journaling
Saturday, November 16 | 10:00 am to 12:00 pm
Neilson Spearhead Center | 48851 County 29, Bemidji, MN 56601

This in person class will be held at the beautiful, 466 acre Neilson Spearhead Center nature preserve. It is free of charge and open to all ages (10 and up recommended). Together, our group will follow prompts to incorporate words, numbers and sketches to observe and draw closer to nature. There will be art included - but do not stress if you don’t think of yourself as an artist! Nature journaling is about capturing observations, not executing a “finished” piece of art. Feel free to bring your own notebook / paper and pens or pencils, but supplies will be provided if you do not have any on hand.

Please come prepared for the weather with appropriate warm layers or rain gear as the forecast indicates.

RSVP via Facebook is appreciated: Facebook Event Link.
