In Studio Art Classes
I offer classes in my studio for one or three people at a time.
I guide students through processes I have developed throughout my career as instructor and creative director. My approach includes meaningful play.
Sessions are scheduled as needed. Each session includes demos, exercises and plenty of individual attention.
For off-site classes, contact me to discuss options.

"Not only is Chas an absolute delight to spend a few hours with, he is an incredible teacher as well as a gifted artist. He made the time with the canvas, fun, approachable and almost spiritual. I walked away learning lots and having gained confidence and solid foundation to pick out supplies and practice on my own.”
