It’s back to school time – art school that is.
Autumn is a wonderful time of year to take an
art class so we have prepared a list of our members’ recommended instructors. If you are new to botanical art, or want to
further develop your skills, there is no better place to start than with Kerri
Weller’s classes. Students in Ottawa’s
East End will be pleased to know that Kerri is also teaching classes at the Orleans
campus of the Ottawa School of Art.
