Over the past five years, we have been fortunate to host several of the industry's leading artists and teachers from around the country.  In addition to hearing such a high level of artistry, studio members are able to interact with the guest artists in masterclasses and private lessons.

​

SPRING 2022 GUEST ARTISTS:
