I am going to miss 1-2 classes. How do I make them up? Almost every student misses classes now and then. To arrange a make up, please email your studio up to 5 days in advance, we do not allow drop ins. - We offer up to 3 make ups per course/semester (1 make up for short 5-6 weeks courses) - Make ups are not guaranteed, but we will try our best. - No make ups can be scheduled after missed class. - A make up can not be rescheduled. Do I need to purchase materials? We provide the materials for the in-studio classes, there is no need to bring anything. However, it might be a good idea to purchase some art materials for practice at home. Online students neeed to purchase materials for their classes.

Sophia Sharifi

I recently took the 4 week Outdoor Sketching course with Cody and it was such a great experience! The instructor created a very welcoming environment for artists of all levels and I found it was accommodating towards beginners given I had little art experience prior to taking the class. Very excited to enroll in more classes with the school in the future :-)
