Private Art Lessons: If you prefer to take private art lessons rather than classes in either graphite or colored pencil, please contact Nancy at 252-336-4532. The rate for private lessons is $10.00 per hour. The number of lessons per week can be one or several. Lessons are given in the comfort of your own home!

If you would like to have a friend or two join you for your lesson, you may invite them to participate and each of you will pay a group fee of only $8.00 per hour rather than the higher individual, private rate.
