I absolutely loved this art class! The small group setting was wonderful, and I especially appreciated the calm environment without piped-in overhead music. The shorter class time made it easy to participate without feeling overwhelmed, and the one-time drop-in option is fantastic. I think this class is especially welcoming for neurodivergent individuals or anyone who may have memory, attention, or other challenges. And Avery was simply the best teacher—kind, encouraging, patient, and genuinely wonderful to work with. Highly recommend!
