Teaching Copic Classes with PlaZa Art
Nashville Artnerds, mark your calendars! I'm so excited to announce that I'm teaching classes through PlaZa! Even better—I'm going to be teaching marker classes, a longtime dream of mine! The icing on the cake? PlaZa is providing materials for class use, so you don't have to have your own markers to take these classes!
Each class is three hours in the afternoon, and most classes are on Saturdays and Sundays—perfect for people who work outside the home, or for teenagers interested in learning the ins and outs of markers.
For those of you not familiar with PlaZa, it's a chain of art supply stores in the US East. PlaZa hosts one of my favorite art supply events—Hands on Creativity—and has a wide selection of art supplies and classes available to area artists. My goal with PlaZa is to offer classes that will appeal to younger artists, or artists who are young at heart, featuring techniques and materials inspired from my own artistic journey. Each class is standalone, but students who take the Copic classes will find that we're going to build on techniques.
PlaZa has sponsored my Watercolor Workshop this Saturday at MTAC, and they've kindly provided paper and paint samples for attendees of this workshop! This workshop is free to MTAC attendees and is scheduled to begin at 12PM (noon) on Saturday, April 20th, 2019. You can check out a full calendar of my classes AND con appearances here! And if you'd like to be notified about classes- from class announcements to registration, sign up here.
