A lot of people have been asking if we’re going to have in-store classes. The answer is: we’re working on it.

We love being able to host art classes so right now the only 2 things we need are teachers and students.

If you’re interested in taking classes at Utrecht, just send us an email with your name, phone number, and what classes you’d be interested in taking. If you’re interested in teaching a class just send us an email with what you’d like to teach, some pictures of your work, and what schedule would work well for you.

By October we may have an acrylic class and a watercolor class so stay tuned for that.

Guest Artist: Miles Laventhall from “Golden Artist Colors”

Attention:  Beginning and Experienced Artists!
