You are welcome to use these paint-and-sip style classes in any way that you think can support happiness and life improvement.

If after taking these technique-based classes you decide that you would like to take it further to learn the principles and elements of designing paintings, Arrachme teaches in person, in The Villages, Florida.  The classes are provided by The Villages Enrichment Academy which is the only endorsed teaching and speaker series program they provide and manage. Arrachme is going on her ninety years with The Villages. See the classes page on this website.
