Video, Virtual, & Online Workshops
We’ve gotten lots requests for online or virtual workshops lately. We know travel is difficult for many of you at this time. Unfortunately, virtual workshops are not something we are able to accommodate right now. (We’re too busy making paint!) So, we reached out to our Core and Tier instructors to see what they have available. Some have free YouTube demos. Others have produced instructional videos that you can purchase. And several have some upcoming workshops that are virtual.
We hope you find something that meets your needs. And if you are looking for in person workshops in your area, be sure to visit our Resources page and download a copy of our Teaching Artist List to find someone offering workshops in your area.
Keep painting.
