What Makes Us Stand Out –

Expert Leadership: Led by Christy Sears, a charismatic and experienced Texafornia Mama known for her wry humor and infectious giggle. Christy is a dedicated cheerleader for anyone willing to say, "Sure, I’ll give it a try."

Unique Origin: Our roots trace back to the vibrant arts scene of Venice, CA, now transplanted to the creative community south of Atlanta, GA.

Holistic Approach: We emphasize the heart/hands/mind connection, understanding that neglecting one impacts the others. Our philosophy, IYKYK, ensures a balanced and integrated learning experience.

Customized Solutions: We believe in finding tools and methods that align with each artist’s unique needs, avoiding a one-size-fits-all approach. Creativity thrives on diversity of techniques.

Efficient Class Structure: Our classes are designed as one-time sessions, each lasting no more than 4.5 hours. This ensures a focused and effective learning experience without overwhelming participants or disrupting their schedules

Comprehensive Teaching: We focus on the "how," "why," and "when" of techniques, ensuring artists gain a deep and practical understanding.

Safe and Fun Learning: Our goal is to provide solid, safe bench instruction with hands-on practice, enabling artists to work creatively, independently, and successfully—all while having fun.

Interactive Knowledge Sharing: We love answering questions and sharing our expertise, fostering a collaborative and supportive learning environment.

Flexible Learning Units: Classes are divided into technique-based units, allowing artists to choose what best fits their creative goals.
