Open Studio will be on a hiatus in early 2010. We're welcoming a new baby into the family and juggling a preschooler and an infant will keep our hands full for a while! But as soon as we're feeling a little organized (and we know what this baby's personality is like!) we'll be back at it. Keep checking in and I'll post the dates as soon as possible.

Watercolors are a perfect medium for aesthetic, meditative attention. Being so fluid, watercolors are juicy and alive and often seem to have a mind of their own. Artists of all levels of experience are welcome to these classes where we will explore different facets of painting with this luscious medium.
