About the class

What you'll do in 12–2pm.

This class is built around practice. Each session opens with a short demo, then dedicated studio time with one-on-one instruction. We finish with a brief group critique — generous, specific, and optional.

No experience is required for first-time students. Returning students can pick up wherever their last term left off — Carol Erskineadapts each session to who's in the room.
