There's absolutely no pressure to have any experience or have it all figured out. Come to class with an open mind and we will work through your goals together to make some beautiful, unique pieces! 60-21 Myrtle Ave, Ridgewood, Queens Thursday Evenings 6:30-9pm 1/8-2/12 *Students can expect to finish around 5 pieces by the end of the course, with a maximum of 8 pieces to take home.
