At present, we have an encaustic & oil painter (Tara Shelton), a lawyer (Phil Pothen) who specialises in environmental and zoning law.

In the same room, classes of many sorts are held, for example: oil painting, life drawing with models, acrylic painting, encaustic (painting, mixed media in hot beeswax onto wood), resin over photo art, sketching, wood burned art and more.
