What our students say:

“I loved the class! I was skeptical on how a 'virtual' cooking class would go, but I was very happy with the evening and learned along the way. Thank you.” – Elizabeth G. One-Pot Meals with Cast Iron

“Jeremy [Durling] pivoted to online teaching beautifully and created a sense of community. He narrated adjustments of placement of subjects and camera placement in illuminating ways that helped me when I translated each demo to my home context.” – Nina K., Beginner Drawing “Joan [Brunetta] has truly fostered interpersonal relationships within the class already. I'm so impressed and delighted. Yay CCAE!” – Annie D., Latin: Beginner Level 1
