What Students Say

  • "I will take any class taught by Morgan Jones! Morgan is an insightful teacher who carefully plans and crafts her courses. I am a new painter, but feeling right at home with these materials and techniques."

  • "Morgan is an excellent teacher.  Attuned to the participants, extremely clear and focused on key elements so as not to be overwhelming...while still encouraging individual creativity and fun and fitting a lot into the timeframe.  I appreciated her sharing some of her thought-provoking inner musings, as well."

  • "I loved the flow of your teaching and am excited to attend more of your classes in the future.  Learning to “let go of perfection” and “not getting caught up in the details”, are two of my goals.  Your approach and exercises are great stepping stones for me. "
