Oh my goodness has it been AWHILE since I posted! Social media has been quiet but we’ve been busy making art. Our attendance has ebbed and flowed — we said the hardest goodbye to one of our very first artists, we’ve gained new attendees and still have our ride-or-die TGC besties. It’s truly such an honor to meet with everyone and, even more, to watch each of them discover their own artistry. Thanks for continuing to show up!

Yesterday, we switched out (most of) the art in the bell hall. This series is one of my favorites! 🥰

It’s top secret 🤫 but some of my favorite days at TGC are when just one person shows up for class and we get to spend the whole time together, one-on-one. I’ve learned a whole lot about life this way. Somehow, making art and making friends go together like chocolate and peanut butter. I’m so grateful for each person I’ve met and every week I get to do this.
