Ginny is an incredible artist. We had chairs made by Barbara Grygutis( an artist out of Tucson and these chairs were at the National Museum of Art in Washington D.C.). Unfortunately they were damaged in a move. We looked all over nationally to get them fixed. Ginny not only fixed them but she made them like new. Love love love her dedication, hard work and enthusiasm.
Loved this class! Ginny quickly relieved any intimidation I had, being my first-time using watercolor. Having learned the basics, I'm ready for my next class.
We had a blast dying silk scarves with all sorts of techniques! Everyone’s was different and beautiful! Thank you, Ginny for sharing your expertise in such a fun way!!!
Ginny is an excellent teacher and so positive and encouraging! I just love her classes.
Creative juices were flowing in this fused glass class!
Absolutely wonderful! We learned 4 different techniques straight pouring, dirty pouring, swipe, and ughhhh can’t recall the name of the last one, but it included all the leftovers from the 1st 3. It was exciting to c what designs you’d get from how u choose to move your paint. I’d definitely recommend gathering a few friends and booking paint date just for some friendly fun and a good time.

This has been such a wonderful class to take! The atmosphere is inviting and really makes you feel like you are apart of the group. The techniques I’ve learned have been so helpful. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to learn watercolor!
I have taken watercolor classes with Megan before and it has always been enjoyable. I like the small classes, the interaction between the participants and the instructor as well as among the participants. Of course because of the pandemic we have all been doing this virtually, but I enjoy setting everything up in my own kitchen and having a relaxing and enjoyable time with everyone.Great fun!
Best class ever! Will definitely take more classes from her. I felt I made a good friend and a knowledgeable one. Felt at home right from the start!
The class was fun, informative and relaxing. I get a lot out of Ginny’s classes.
My favorite place to go when it's cold
Great class, easy to follow, good tips for beginners!
Ginny is extremely talented, and very patient! I can't believe how much I've learned!
Megan Swoyer is a very talented teacher able to convey water color techniques in an entertaining and thorough way. I look forward to another session with Megan.
What a great way to learn something new but still safe at home. This looks like something I will do on a regular basis as the Winter wears on.
Ginny is a GREAT teacher and it was fun!
For a student with limited experience in watercolor it was fun and educational.
Loved the class, Virginia has a beautiful studio, makes painting there very good. Can’t wait to go back and paint again!
I’ve taken several classes and workshops at Art Yourself Studio. Ginny offers a wide variety of classes, there’s something for everyone. She is an extremely knowledgeable and talented artist and you can tell that she genuinely enjoys helping others discover their creativity.
I've had two experiences offered by Art Yourself:: shibori dying taught by Ginny and Mendhi drawing taught by Pam Signorelli. Both were excellent.
I’ve always wanted to take classes with Ginny but we live so far from each other. Now I can! And her watercolor class is awesome!!! Silver linings!
It is really wonderful to be here and enjoy your paintings. No worries just all joy to make beautiful paintings
At this unprecedented time in our lives it was very nice to be able to do a virtual online class. We could still enjoy meeting others and create beautiful cards all from the comfort of our home. It was a welcome bright spot in my week. Thank you so much!
I thoroughly enjoyed Traci's card making class and will take another one for sure!
I liked the class but I think it would be better in person in case you had a problem. I had trouble folding one card and was missing a piece but it turned out ok anyway. The cards are very pretty!
Always have a great time at the art classes with Art Yourself Studio. Both in studio and the more recent zoom classes. Can't wait to get back to studio time in person. Thankyou.
What fun! Virginia is an amazing teacher!
Ginny's Shibori Bamboo Silk class was fantastic! So much fun to see the patterns revealed when the scarves came out of the dye and I've got a beautiful scarf to keep me warm this winter! Definately recommend.
Ginny has a wide variety of classes and makes everyone feel good about what they’re doing. Helpful, educational and just plain fun no matter what art project you choose to do.
It’s a welcoming place with a great owner!
awesome space to work, great instruction, can't wait to take another class!
We made beautiful and unique cards over Zoom and had a great time!
Ginny has so many wonderful classes and is such a fun and easy teacher.

Was fabulous! Great teacher, fun class, amazing studio. I am so glad I found it. Just looking around the studio was worth it for me.
Small group of 4 friends.....Best Time EVER! Ginny is an amazing person/art teacher and now friend and offered a very relaxed and creative atmosphere. We loved her studio and booked another artistic event for 2 weeks from now. What an amazing and FUN afternoon!
A group of close friends, family, and I did a silk scarf marbling class as a birthday event at Art Yourself Studio.

A group of close friends, family, and I did a silk scarf marbling class as a birthday event at Art Yourself Studio. We wanted to do something creative, yet we all had varying degrees of art experience. Our group wanted something different from a traditional paint and pour class on canvas. Ginny was amazing at showing us each how to do various techniques for dying the silk scarfs. Then she guided us through the process, making sure that each person achieved their desired design for their scarf. No one walked away disappointed! It didn't matter that none of us had ever done it before, they all were stunning! Ginny made the experience fun, welcoming and not the least bit intimidating. I would highly recommend taking a class, or a few! She really does help you realize that ART is for EVERYONE. Less
Ginny is a great teacher, she is patient and helpful. You always walk out with something you will love and feel good about yourself. There are so many different types of classes to take, something for everyone!
What a wonderful place to enjoy making art! Ginny is a most competent teacher. Organized, patient, ready to teach a skill with enthusiasm and encouragement. Taking a class is a real pleasure.
I wish I could give Ginny and her studio more stars. Her gentle manner, fantastic lessons, and beautiful space have helped me grow from a complete beginner to a painter who is proud of her work. If you've ever thought you wanted to try art, this is the place to try!
Ginny has such a great personality and creates a welcoming atmosphere for everyone. Never done something before? No problem! She makes you feel comfortable to learn and free to express yourself.

I have been hearing about Ginny’s classes and her fabulous Art Yourself studio for months. I finally got to take one and it surpassed my hopes. I am so excited to join the next class and many more in the future. It is a warm, friendly environment with camaraderie and encouragement from the other classmates, too. Such a huge variety of classes are available from Ginny and her network of professional artists and crafters that I am always finding something of interest. My first class was a fantastic experience and I came away from it having learned new techniques, and gained new skills with materials I’d never worked with before. Oh, and I shouldn’t forget to point out the part where I took home some pretty handmade-by-me art! -Amy Less
Going to Art Yourself Studios is always a Fun time. You meet great people, learn new projects and Ginny is the best when instructing the class. It feels like you are at home with your friends learning new things!! Thanks Ginny!!
My husband and I had a date night here. Tons of fun. Ginny is really flexible and worked with us on what we wanted to do. Highly recommend going to a class or having a party here!
We had a great time at the studio for a date night. Ginny was very easy to work with. I'd highly recommend!👏
5 of us joined Ginny for watercolor classes. It was great fun and a learning experience. I will go back for another class. Cute little studio. Ginny teaches many types of art: rugs, painting on silk and more. You should check it out. Fun for family, grand kids, friends.
Ginny was awesome, so very warm and welcoming! Her studio is very cute and cozy and she treats you like family. A friend and I painted silk scarves and it was so much fun.

Ginny is fabulous! I took my friend Lorri here to paint silk scarves for her birthday! We had a great time and Ginny made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Even if you aren't really artsy she will instruct you on colors and techniques so your scarves turn out wonderful! I highly recommend her and we will certainly be back for another artsy adventure!
So much fun!!! What a beautiful place to be creative! Makes me hungry for more!!!!
Ginny is a lovely person and the up-north artsy feel of the place is very inspiring. I will come back again and again for sure! Thank you for a fun filled evening of crafting for charity!
An amazing place to have fun with family and friends. Everyone can create fun beautiful art with Ginny's guidance.

A great place to create and meet other creative hungry people! The classes are fun because this is a "no judgement" studio.
These classes are so much fun. Such an inviting place to work and learn. Ginny is awesome to open up her art studio to all of us. Thanks!!! Just finished making Coasters with Alcohol Ink!!!
We spent a few hours with Ginny creating alcohol ink ornaments. It was fun and the ornaments are beautiful! Ginny was so helpful and very great in helping us.
Ginny is so supportive and encouraging no matter what the project. She has such a fun and endearing charm. Her art studio couldn't be more comfortable and relaxing. Always an interesting project and she is open to new ideas. I admire her pursuing and teaching her love of art!
Lots of fun and encouragement. Casual and comfortable atmosphere. I enjoyed it.
Ginny helps you relax and let your creative juices flow! She's a fantastic artist and a great coach as you muddle through your own project. Having a piece of art at the end of two hours still amazes me! Thanks Ginny and I'll be back soon!!

Wonderful experience. Very organized. Ginny was an awesome teacher. We made scarves and she was very patient explaining all the different processes. She help you if you asked, but let you be creative. No pressure, no rushing. Satisfaction guaranteed! Can't wait to do it again. I want a collection!
I loved my silk painting classes. I will take it again.
