Heart on Canvas was Feb. 9
Did you miss it?  Read on...

We just held our first ever Heart on Canvas class and it was a blast!  Everyone had such a great time, and it was so exciting for us to see all the beautiful and independently creative art pieces that our students created!  And boy, was it a full class

So full, in fact, that we are considering adding another session to the calendar.  So if you are interested, please let us know!  Call us, email us , send us a telegram!  Do whatever it takes to get us the word!  With enough interest, we'd be delighted to offer a new session of this class.
