​

WHAT IS A 'POP-UP' CLASS?

We use the term 'Pop-Up' class as we will only hold a class between our busy project schedule when we have the available time.  Classes are no-longer on a set, year-long, rotating schedule as they once were. Our professional and studio projects are keeping us very busy living our dreams.  We love what we do and are equally passionate about teaching.  Therefore, when we can, we still want to help you live your dreams by offering you pop-up classes and workshops to help get you on your way.  Classes may or may not repeat, as it all depends on our busy schedule, so be sure to enroll when they are offered.
