Art classes for your event? 🧑🎨
We've gotten more inquiries about this recently, so we've finally put together a page about it (https://www.pushpullseattle.com/private-classes.html) .
Yes, we'd love to teach a class at/for your event/company/team building thingy! :D Or if you just want to book a private class for you and all your friends! "Team build" with your D&D party, your hiking buddies, or your amateur soccer team! Let us know what you're thinkin'!
