    Lots of fun! Great way to spend an evening: supportive atmosphere, and a crash course in how to look at one-panel cartoons. Very much open to beginners, just as much fun for people with experience.

    Very straightforward , which is great. You got an instructer that knows their stuff, some delicious cookies, and an environment where the primary topic is just art. What could be better?
  • Weeknight Figure Drawing

    Reviewed by Ryan B. on 1/29/2024
    It’s a nice class and the pose times are perfect but they just raised it to $30 a class. Because of this I will be attending less classes. $25 was already a bit steep.
