Accelerated Introduction to Drawing
Decorus Atelier and James, the founder and lead instructor, were fantastic. I’m just beginning my creative journey and have very little experience, but this introductory course was practical, filled with interesting tidbits, and accessible enough for me to learn real techniques. The class size was intimate and moved at my own pace which worked really well for the way my brain processes information. I felt comfortable and welcomed by everyone else. Highly recommend! -

Intro to the Art of Sushi
Purchased this class for my partner and I for his birthday. Was such a fun and professional experience! Chef Cregg made the room feel comfortable and low stakes, even though sushi feels like a food that could be really tricky to make at home. He also made the class educational, without coming close to the territory of ever feeling boring at all. Ingredients were fresh and the playlist was great! Would definitely recommend. -
Accelerated Portraiture Drawing
I truly learned so much from James and his careful instruction, alongside his passion and dedication to the arts. It was a pleasure to share the space with him and his students for the evening.

Thank you so much to the Decorus Atelier family! -
