AT OUR STUDIO

On-on-One, or Small Groups

At her studio located at Amused Gallery in Topeka's NOTO Arts & Entertainment District, Lisa is pleased to teach classes to individuals, two or three students. Classes are in a safe environment - we provide masks or face shields, hand washing and hand sanitizer.  For groups of 10 or more, we can provide your class at Paper June (down the street in NOTO),  or offsite at your location.  The classes we offer include:
