Here’s what to know:

Jeff is available to come to your location and teach a group of 4-10 of you and your friends and family (Lee County only). The cost is $90 per person. All that is needed is a table with seating enough for everyone, including Jeff. He’ll bring all the materials. You choose the class project ---they are all listed above. Each of them introduces the basic techniques of sculpting with masking tape, and everyone will have learned a new art form that can be continued to be explored on their own. You can expect the class to take about 3-hours long. At the end of the class, all will receive an instructional handout on how to seal and paint their sculptures, on their own, with easy to find materials. Private classes are reserved and paid for by an emailed payment link via squareup.com (our payment provider).
Contact us with any questions and/or to let us know your desired date and time, and class project you would like to create.
