Park in gravel areas. Use the ramp\, I will watch for students as they arrive. \nPlease confirm your attendance as I set up a station for each student – \nThank you for your dedication to learning art as a group of emerging artists. -Louisa Moutos \nClass reviews from current students- \nDuring the last couple of years\, I have taken several classes from Louisa: Beginning Watercolor\, Mixed Media\, as well as several of her one day offerings. Each class has been unique\, well planned\, and an opportunity for growth and development. Louisa is an excellent teacher. Class-time always includes both learning and doing and having fun. While taking classes I have not only improved my skills but more importantly my creativity has blossomed\, and I feel more confident in both areas even if my pieces do not turn out as expected\, \nI am taking another class this term with Louisa and I am excited to work with her and learn from her\, continuing my skill development and enhancing my creativity. \nSusan B. \nLouisa is the ultimate Art Painting Instructor! I say this because she is an amazingly gifted artist. She is a scholastic instructor with the ability to motivate and convey the skills and nuances of painting to the individual needs of each student. I’m new to oil painting and so very grateful to have Louisa as my instructor. She inspires me and I look forward to continue taking art classes under her expert guidance. LO Parks & Rec is lucky to have her as an instructor! \n—Denise M. \nLouisa’s watercolor class is the most insightful I have taken. Her passion and enthusiasm is contagious! She has taught me to understand color theory and various watercolor application techniques. As a class\, we share our work with each other and Louisa provides positive and helpful suggestions. What stood out to me the most\, is the one-on-one check ins and advice throughout the class. She is always kind and encouraging\, asking if you would like help before offering it. She has inspired me to make watercolor painting a regular part of my life and keep learning! I would absolutely recommend to anyone who has been wanting to learn this craft to take her classes. I will be taking more of Louisa’s classes in the future! \nCathy \n“Louisa Moutos masterfully nurtures both new and practicing artists in their craft. Her easy manner and passion for painting inspires everyone to take the journey in discovering and expressing their own style. Using examples from classic art\, photography and everyday observations\, she conveys the fundamentals of recognizing color values\, shapes and composition\, allowing students to engage their artistic eye and confidently approach any subject. \nIn this relaxed and encouraging studio environment\, Louisa takes time with each student\, providing helpful demonstrations on color mixing and brush techniques which benefit all learners to get their painting to the next level. I highly recommend Louisa’s class to anyone interested in learning how to paint or artists looking to work in a new medium.” \n-Joy C \nI never took an oil painting class prior to enrolling in Louisa’s class but really wanted to learn how to paint with oils. I learned so much in this class and had a lot of fun doing it. Louisa is a very patient and knowledgeable teacher\, in addition to being a wonderful artist. \nShe incorporates theory\, technique and even some art history into the class making for a very interesting and satisfying curriculum. But the best part is the hands on painting instruction that she offers and her keen eye for helping aspiring artists get the most from our canvas! I could see my paintings improve and my confidence grow with each lesson. \nElizabeth M.

SUMMARY:Intro To The Myth of Tea
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to the 5 major tea types and ceremonial tea.\nJoin us for an introduction to the five major types of tea; green\, white\, oolong\, black\, and dark tea. Together we will explore the origins of Camellia sinensis\, trace its history and cultural roots\, and experience the art of gongfu ceremonial tea service. This class is an invitation to step into the magic\, wonder\, and devotion that tea inspires\, while learning how its many expressions continue to connect us to the natural world and our human nature. \nThis gathering is offered with a suggested contribution of $35. In the spirit of inclusivity and balance\, you are welcome to offer what feels right for you\, whether that is $35\, $25\, or more if you have the means. Contributions above the suggested amount help make this experience accessible to those with financial need and sustain the ongoing care and energy poured into holding spaces like this. Every offering\, whether financial or energetic\, affirms the value of community supported education. \nWe also acknowledge the systemic barriers that have long limited access for BIPOC communities. To honor this\, a $15 option is available for BIPOC participants who would benefit from it. This is one way we commit to equity\, ensuring that diversity is not only welcomed but integral to the richness of the experience. \nIf the listed prices are still a barrier\, please reach out directly. I am more than willing to work with you to ensure that tea remains within reach for all who feel called to share in it. \nAll are welcome here. You are invited to arrive exactly as you are and take part in a space rooted in openness\, care\, and community\, a living space where each presence is honored and where we grow together through the deep\, transformative beauty of tea. \nTo help us hold a mindful and welcoming space\, we ask participants to be considerate of sensory sensitivities by avoiding strong fragrances. This is a space of gentle awareness\, where we honor our own needs as well as those of others. By showing up with openness\, care\, and respect for each other’s boundaries\, we create a collective meditative atmosphere where\, tea\, and community belonging can flourish. \nIn the spirit of reciprocity and uplifting community together\, five dollars from each participant will be donated to Q Center\, a nonprofit that supports LGBTQ2SIA+ communities through advocacy\, resources\, and safe spaces\, embodying tea’s spirit of connection\, reflection\, healing\, and belonging. \nThis class is led by D’Guar (they/them)\, a trans person of color\, tea guide\, and community builder based in Portland\, Oregon. D’Guar has devoted their path to exploring the spirit of Camellia sinensis through mindful practice\, storytelling\, and connection. Through their project Water Fairy Tea\, they create spaces where tea becomes a bridge between nature\, presence\, and belonging. Their offerings weave education with devotion\, inviting participants to meet tea not only as a beverage\, but as a living companion in self discovery and community care with nature and the world around. \nWe acknowledge that this work takes place on the traditional lands of the Multnomah\, Clackamas\, Chinook\, Kathlamet\, Tualatin\, Kalapuya\, Molalla\, and many other Indigenous ancestors and communities. We honor their enduring presence\, care\, and wisdom\, and offer gratitude to the land and to the people who have tended it since time immemorial.
