    Reviewed by Hannah J. on 4/10/2024
    I really enjoyed this acrylic painting class with Claire! Claire did such a great job at providing clear and helpful instructions. I appreciated the feedback and encouragement that was given to each member. I also appreciated Claire's assistance Luke who provided very helpful pointers on my art work. Both of them are great teachers and can tell how much they care about their work. Highly recommend!
