October Art Classes and a new One Day Intro at my San Francisco Atelier

[Sadie Jernigan Valeri]

The studio just got a set of Flat Files - huge flat drawers for storing drawing paper and drawings, it keeps them all flat and safe. We've been wanting these a long time and could not pass up on the great deal of a local art store clearing out their storage area.... even though it required hiring movers and removing a couple doors off the hinges to get the enormous thing into the studio!

October class registration is now open, new classes start next week! Also check out our new option for attending a One Day Introduction to my classical drawing techniques, on Sundays.

Please feel free to share with your social networks and with your friends who may be interested!
