WHAT STUDENTS ARE SAYING:

Amy always encourages, smiles, and finds the absolute best in your work and your confidence. She’s an incredible teacher and I have grown so much with her. I love learning new techniques. I love finding the peace and rhythm in my work. I will forever be a painter because of Amy and I’m so incredibly grateful.  -Joanna

Amy is both a skilled artist and a skilled teacher. She gives you all of the information you need to get set-up before class starts, and once you login she creates a welcoming environment where all students can learn together. I have so much fun in Amy's workshops. More than just a way to learn new techniques or hone your skills, they are a space to create and be with friends. -Meg

I have taken multiple classes with Amy, her quick wit and style of teaching makes for a fun learning experience. Even if watercolors are new to you,  the class gives you the basic skills and techniques to create something beautiful. I look forward to taking more classes in the future, for Amy is an absolute pleasure! -Maria

For her birthday, I took my mom to one of Amy Richards watercolor classes at Craft Habit and before the class was even over, we had signed up for the next one! Amy was a delight! She took her time and guided us step-by-step so that our end results looked great. It was so fun and the class was small and intimate and we learned so much. We can't wait for the next class! -Sarah

Amy is such a gifted artist and teacher. She takes the scariness out of it like no one else. -Pam
