Red Star Studios in Kansas City MO .. owned by Steven and Susan Hill.

Steven is an outstanding artist and fine lecturer, combine this with Susan's amazing cooking and hospitality *and you have the makings of a very enjoyable time at Red Star.

There are far too many reasons to recommend Red Star to get into here, but i can guarantee you will learn a lot of new techniques and make many new friends while attending one of their extremely valuable courses.

* I should also note Susan is an amazing artist in her own right as can be seen by the display of work on the Red Star site
