  • 5/5 from Meg Ciarallo, attended Jan 2025: This was a fantastic class! My daughter has a ton of interest in face painting and Jessia was great. She provided us with a top notch kit of face painting supplies and tools and taught my daughter the foundations of the trade.

  • 5/5 from Alessandra Barbosa, attended Oct 2024: I can't say enough great things about this face-painting class! The instructor was friendly and made the whole experience fun and engaging. We focused on a Day of the Dead makeup right in time for Halloween. I learned many expert tips from her years of experience to help achieve beautiful, intricate designs. The class was very beginner-friendly, with a thoughtful format. We started by learning basic brush strokes, then practiced on a template before finally trying it on ourselves, which built my confidence step-by-step. As a bonus, I got to take home a generous face-painting kit, which was the perfect touch and left me feeling fully prepared to continue practicing. Highly recommend this class to anyone wanting to dive into face-painting in a supportive setting!
