Classes & Workshops

I currently teach all of my in-person classes as a part-time instructor at Baker Hunt Art & Cultural Center in Covington, KY. They offer a vast selection of hand-building and wheel-throwing classes for a wide range of ages (4 and up). I primarily only teach adult classes focused in wheel-throwing.

Baker Hunt classes/workshops range from:

• a couple hours with hands-on instruction
• 4 week hands-on classes
• 8 week hands-on classes
• online workshops
• age groups include youth, teen, & adult

Classes are offered at various times throughout the year within one of the 4 seasons (Spring, Summer, Fall, & Winter). Classes range in availability based on how popular it is, and wheel-throwing classes fill pretty fast, so if you are interested and want to sign up, do it quickly!

Upcoming Classes/Workshops

Bookkeeping Workshop

$60.00

Register

Several times throughout 2023, I've taught a new workshop where I share a bookkeeping system I've been using to manage my business over the past 5+ years. It started as a homegrown system inputting my income and expenses into a spreadsheet and slowly grew to what it is today, an integrated system utilizing Google Forms & Sheets to make my business life much easier! I'm sharing this system in a 75 minute virtual workshop format where I talk through the system high-level and dig deeper into the specifics so you can customize it for yourself and walk away with how you can use it for your own small business.

Each participant receives a Getting Started Guide to download all the necessary files needed to start using the system, access to ask questions live with me during the workshop, and a recording of the workshop afterwards. Please join me for a future workshop or join the waitlist so you know when I add new dates to the calendar.
