Appointments 2 — Erin Grace

Begin your art journey.

Art classes are so much more than just an hour or two a week. Art exploration is about discovering more about yourself, enhancing fine motor skills, & developing problem-solving & creativity.

As an artist, I specialize in fiber (textile) art & abstract painting. I offer classes that explore niche areas within the field of art & design, that focus on process over product as it is the learning that spurs us onto the next thing.

How Classes Work

Each class is uniquely yours! Classes are created through expressed mutual interest in a particular class and the group agrees upon the meeting time as well as location. Classes are held in Flower Mound or at a group member’s home, based on the group’s preference.

Classes generally have a minimum of 4 participants and the maximum varies based on the age of participants as well as the content covered. Classes are available for children and adults and are customizable to skill level and interests.

See below for class offerings. If you have an idea for a class or would like to turn any class into a workshop please contact me!
