Egg tempera is one of the most ancient historical art painting technique. It preserved as a main technique to paint orthodox religious icons. It is possible to learn it and paint your own icon. I have 12 years of practice teaching people how to do it. We work together step by step to understand the technique, the way to prepare wooden panel to paint an icon and the techniques of making a good project to make the icon fit to the board. We also learn how to make gold leaf layer on the halos. Your icon will be a real, crafted icon.

This class is a playful introduction to the world of fashion design for children. We will explore the creative side of design through simple fashion sketching and drawing, where kids can bring their clothing ideas to life on paper.

Students will also learn basic sewing techniques, both by hand and with a sewing machine, while creating fun and practical beginner-friendly projects. The lessons are designed to build confidence step by step, balancing creativity with useful technical skills.

The class is perfect for children who love costumes, clothing, and crafts, as well as for aspiring young fashion designers who want to start turning their ideas into real garments.

By the end, every student will have gained new sewing skills, a deeper understanding of fashion design, and their own unique handmade pieces to be proud of.

Get ready for creativity, giggles, and a whole lot of colorful mess! I’m starting a super fun arts & crafts class just for kids where imagination runs wild and every project feels like an adventure. We’ll paint, glue, cut, sprinkle glitter, and turn everyday ideas into awesome creations kids will be excited to show off.

This class is all about exploring, trying new things, building confidence, and having FUN while we create. No pressure to be “perfect,” just a welcoming space where little artists can express themselves, make friends, and leave with big smiles (and maybe a little paint on their sleeves 🤭).

I am calm and patient and help you to focus on foundational skills, including reading a simple pattern, identifying stitch types, joining new yarn, and finishing techniques. Focus can be basic stitches like chain stitch, single and double crochet, joining in new yarn, good tension and even edges.
