One-hour "one-on-one" lessons designed for beginner, intermediate or advanced ages 18 – 108. 

Although these sessions are designed for a single person, you may prefer to work with a friend. In that case, the price is $20 for each MA member ($40 for the session) or $25 for each non-member ($50 for the session). Maximum of 2 students per one-hour individual session. 

Registration: We recommend you register no later than the Wednesday prior to your preferred session. After registering, your phone number will be sent to the instructor who will call you to schedule the actual date and time for your individual one-on-one hour. 

This is a unique opportunity to have an individual session with a master teacher. Sometimes one needs focused work in drawing or painting in any media. Other times, one needs critique. This might be the perfect time for you to have 100% of the instructor’s attention and guidance. Beginner, intermediate or advanced are welcome.

Bring your supplies and pictures. All one-on-one sessions must be prescheduled with the instructor.
