Each two-day class is $160 LCAA members/$200 non-members. Register with the links below or call the LCAA at (239) 939-2787

The first is The Secret Weapons of Colored Pencil on October 28 – 29. No matter your level of experience, you will learn tricks and tips to help you get the most from the very versatile medium of colored pencil. All students receive a custom kit with supplies, paper and handouts and pencil sets will be available for use in class if you wish to try before you buy.
