[Sandra Ahten Art] many art workshops

[Sandra Ahten]

Hello people!

I have been arranging to bring in talented arts professionals for exciting 
one day, weekend, and week long workshops at the High Cross Art Studio in 
Urbana. (Formerly the Frank Gallo studio space). If you are interested in 
this type of offering I hope that you can take advantage of one or more of 
these during this initial offering. Response will indicate whether we can 
continue to make this service available to the community in the future.

I have listed the workshops below along with classes that I teach. Details 
can be found under “classes” on my website at www.spiritofsandra.com.
Sincerely, Sandra Ahten

techniques. Working from a still-life, participants will learn basic color

Thomas
An intensive five day workshop with a renown oil painter.
“Each day will be filled with instruction and lots of fun. If you haven’t 
worked with Joy Thomas before, you are in for a real treat. She is the most 
energetic, communicative and delightful instructor you could possibly 
imagine. Plan to come like a sponge, ready to soak up her expertise.”
