Classes
Whether you come to one of TSKW’s workshops as a seasoned artist or one of those people who “can’t even draw a stick figure,” the idea isn’t necessarily to walk away with a work of art in your hands – although quite often you do. We like to think the goal is to see the world differently, and more clearly, as well as picking up real skills. A watercolor class is a way to pinpoint exactly what kind of blue the ocean is, and a reading group can change what you see as you walk the streets of Old Town.
A digital photo workshop or a natural papermaking class can change your perception of the phone in your pocket or the contents of your kitchen cupboard. Trust us – whatever
direction you turn, you’ll end up somewhere new.

It is geared for all levels so whether you have taken classes with Sean before or only dabbled now is your chance to explore the beautiful flowers that our Island provides us in watercolor.
