Begins January 8 | Wednesdays, 11:30 AM–1:00 PM

If you love bold lines, beautiful details, and the idea of drawing without an eraser—this class is for you.

In this six-week Pen & Ink drawing class, artist and instructor Marlene Davis invites you to loosen up, trust your hand, and discover the expressive power of ink. Using pens, fine liners, and simple techniques, you’ll learn how lines, patterns, texture, and shading can bring drawings to life.

6-Session Watercolor Journey with Marlene Davis
Begins January 6

Watercolor is a dance between intention and letting go—and in this immersive six-session class, artist and instructor Marlene Davis invites you to explore both.

Designed for beginners and those looking to deepen their skills, this class offers a relaxed, supportive environment where creativity can unfold naturally. Through guided instruction, live demonstrations, and gentle experimentation, you’ll learn essential watercolor techniques while developing confidence in your own artistic voice.

Over the course of five sessions, you’ll explore color mixing, brushwork, layering, transparency, and composition—learning how watercolor flows, blooms, and surprises in beautiful ways. You’ll create multiple finished pieces while gaining a deeper understanding of how to work with the medium rather than against it.

Whether you’re picking up a brush for the first time or returning to watercolor with fresh curiosity, this class is an invitation to slow down, trust the process, and enjoy the magic of paint and water.
