Happy equinox! 🍂There's lots to look forward to in the fall!

Did you know? All classes have already been scheduled through the end of the year Book spots in popular classes before they fill up, and help us know that we have enough sign-ups to run less popular classes! 

Figure out when your friends are free and make some plans together -- making art with friends always makes the experience more fun, and it's the easiest way to help us meet our class minimums too!
