Ferro
Saturday afternoons from 1pm - 3pm

benefit not only from feedback from Lorraine as well as other participants,
but also from critiquing other’s works; this allows for a deeper
understanding of what works and what is missing. Through this course
artists will have the opportunity to be involved not only in a class,
but a network of other professionals.
