Pastel Art Session | Sept. 11 - Oct. 16, 2025
Autumn Bliss: Falling Light, Rising Joy
A 6-week pastel class with Mary Telfer
Step into the season with soft color, creative flow, and community connection.

In this 6-week pastel session, we’ll work from a shared bunch of beautiful photo references - curated for light, texture, mood, and seasonal inspiration.
Each week, you’ll be invited to explore a fresh theme like glowing skies, quiet joy, or cozy interiors. Paint alongside me or take your own creative path - we’ll come together once a week on Tuesdays for feedback, painting time, and conversation.

​Whether you’re chasing autumn light, layering texture, or letting your pastels wander, this class offers the structure to stay inspired and the freedom to be yourself.

  • A good cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa to savor as you create. 
Real People. Real Smiles. Real Art.
