Mixed Media - A personal piece of art
by Karen Harwell
 | "Mixed
media class at Clara's lovely studio is a perfect way for me to shake
off the work week and ease into the weekend feeling inspired and
creative. Clara's energy is contagious. Her teaching method is
wonderfully balanced. One minute she's on the bench next to me giving
hands on instruction, the next she's allowing me to find my own way,
make my own art (as she says). I've wanted to take an art class for a
long time, but feeling uninspired, I put it off. Then, I took a tour of
the studio and looked at some of her heart-filled, original work. I
was instantly inspired! I've enjoyed every moment making art with Clara
and look forward to my next class." -Karen Harwell
