GROUP & VIRTUAL CLASSES
Announcements:
- NEW VIRTUAL offerings beginning in May! Sign up, purchase materials, and attend by Zoom! See more details at the bottom of this page under the registration form.
- The Schedule below is for May, but will also be what I offer in the fall (subject to minor changes). You can go ahead and register now through the form below for Fall 2026 and I will be in contact to confirm with you about when you wish to begin your class.
- The new location is less than a mile from the intersection of Bloomingdale and S. Kings where there is a bit of construction right now at the entrance to my street. You may have to detour to get to me, but hopefully it won't last too long! The full studio address will be given once you are registered and classes are confirmed.
- For those looking for ongoing weekly summer classes, in addition to my camps, I will be offering a weekly ArtMix class on Friday afternoons from 2-3pm for students 7 & up throughout the summer. You can sign up for that class on the Summer Art Camp page. Also, Summer Camp prices have been reduced after cutting out take-home extras (like t-shirts, aprons, etc.) to help your summer budget.

Payment Options for Ongoing Monthly Group Classes:
- I am a Direct Pay Provider through Florida's Step Up for Students Scholarship so you can find me in the Marketplace and transfer funds directly if you have the scholarship!
- If you are paying by other means, I prefer CHECK or ZELLE since there are no transaction fees, however I do take Venmo, PayPal & Credit Cards if necessary.
- If you miss a class due to sickness or an extenuating circumstance, you will be credited the class hour(s), but you must make up that class time in either a Drop-in class or Makeup Day. NO CASH REFUNDS are allowed through the Step Up for Students Program (SUFS).
- If you are delayed in receiving a SUFS disbursement, please contact me. I may be able to carry you until the end of the month, but will require some form of payment after 6 weeks.
