At the studio in Estero
Classes
Welcome to my art class schedule. I hope you find time to come and join an art class, whether in your community, in my studio or at Lovers Key State Park. All materials are included, every class finishes a painting you take home, and no experience is needed — most people arrive having never painted.
Wissota Art Studio · 13309 Lazzaro Ct, Estero, FL 33928. Jenny-run classes begin with a registration request. Jenny approves every request before a seat is held or payment instructions are sent; check, Zelle and Venmo are accepted. Community-managed classes show their own organizer and never use Wissota payment details. To request a full class description and a sample picture, email Jenny. All classes are subject to change, and more are added — check back.

Private session for you and your friends
I'm always happy to host and teach a painting class in my studio or a location of your choice — a birthday, a bridal painting party, another special life event, or a girls' night out for sip and paint. There are no extra fees. Held in the studio, you are welcome to bring in food and beverages, including alcohol: you provide the goodies and I provide the dishes, glassware, utensils and napkins. Morning, afternoon and evening times are available, including weekends.
