I love free fireworks. Every night I hear them from my bedroom window, some nights I'm home in time to watch them, other nights need to try and sleep as I still have to be up early.
Daily, I'm asked whats happening at the studio and I hope this newsletter is helping get out that important info. Although we have switched into summer operating hours we still have plenty going on.
Reminder: All drop in sessions are $30.

We have had two additional Friday figure classes with muse Erik and to accompany it bunny has made a FREE livestream available for those who want to attend remotely or for those students who want the live in person and then to review from a different angle on the video. We will keep doing them until summer camps start in August, or until less than the minimum show up (whichever occurs first)

Ethnik Festival ELEP
We will be hosting and teaching for the third year drawing classes to about a hundred students at The Ethnik Learning Empowerment Program (ELEP) . This is an initiative by the Ethnik Festivals Association in Calgary, Alberta, focused on providing hands-on learning experiences in various creative fields. The program offers courses in filmmaking, photography, fashion design, makeup artistry, robotics, and more. ELEP 2025 will be held from July 14-26 at cSPACE Marda Loop.
Drawing and photography classes will be held this year in Atelier Artista. You'll see them on the schedule so there wont be any drop in or private classes available at those times.
