The cost is $110 for the 10-week session. Drop-ins are welcome. The cost is $11 for a single class. This popular 10-week drawing class is available to adult artists at all skill levels, basic to advanced.

“This is a great class for beginners and a relaxed opportunity for more experienced artists,” said Koda Witsken, Exhibits & Sales Manager for Nickel Plate Arts.

Pomeroy Parssi will also lead classes for tweens, with instruction in basic drawing technique from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Wednesdays, Oct. 9 through Nov. 7. Cost for the seven-week session is $75.

“We firmly believe the words of Picasso, who said every child is an artist, and these classes will allow young artists to find their artistic voice,” said Witsken.

Pomeroy Parssi has been a professional artist for more than 25 years. She enjoys sharing her passion for art with others and is pleased to be joining Nickel Plate Arts as its new painting and drawing instructor. She has been teaching painting and drawing for more than 15 years and recently served as maker-in-residence at Ignite Studio, located within the Hamilton Southeast Library in Fishers. 2019 marks her sixth year as a member of the faculty at Michigan’s famed Interlochen Center for the Arts summer art camp, where she developed the camp’s Global Arts Program.
