Art is for everyone!
What do you get when when you mix a love for details with nerdy interests?
An art instructor that loves deep dives of information paired with foundational art lessons!
I've been an art instructor for over 10+ years, teachings classes, hosting workshops and pop-ups, and doing live art events across Canada and the UK. I mix niche interests with non-intimidating art basics to create one-of-a-kind drawing & craft experiences. I offer tutoring and workshops under my teaching stream,
All By Hand art classes.
