    This was a fun class in a warm and welcoming environment to artists at all levels. I do wish it was maybe about an hour longer, as it went by so fast and our instructor Kate had a lot to cover. Regardless, she was great! I only wish it were longer because I was getting really into it. I will definitely be back!
