Class Size and Teaching Ratio
We maintain a low student-to-teacher ratio: at least 1 instructor per 6 students, with a maximum of 20 participants per week. This ensures each student receives ample feedback and personal guidance.
Open to All Levels
No prior training is required. Instruction and exercises are adjusted to your individual experience level. Beginners and seasoned artists alike will find challenges, structure, and inspiration through our classical, observation-based method.
Want to stay longer?
You're welcome to sign up for multiple weeks. Our instructors will help you develop a progressive plan for continued artistic growth.
