  Classes at Studio 540 are built around small group sessions to ensure one-on-one attention for every student. Participants experience tailored coaching leading to significant personal skill development. I simplify techniques into step-by-step, approachable instructions, helping students gain confidence in their ability to create.
My weekend workshops are an opportunity for learning, fun, relaxation, and social connection. Beyond exploring a new art form, my hope is that you’ll leave feeling inspired to bring deeper creative expression into your everyday life.
I am happy to welcome Toni Mikulka-Chang as as additional instructor! Please see her bio and Winter class offerings below

 Masks are no longer required in the studio, but spacing of wheels and stations remains.  In order for me to proceed responsibly with the safety of everyone in mind, I must ask that you please be vaccinated (Covid) before signing up for a class or workshop. We will be in an enclosed space. Thank you for your understanding.
