An Art Instructor for the Ages

While our professional Atlanta sculpture studio provides the perfect environment for you to cultivate your creativity, a class is only as good as its teacher. Cherrylion Studios is delighted to welcome Susan Krause as our course instructor.

Susan received her MFA from Yale University and brings over three decades of experience in higher education to Cherrylion Studios. She’s even been recognized as Georgia’s Arts Educator of the Year!

Expert Instruction for Any Artist

Over the course of a workshop, Susan will demonstrate how to translate direct observation into your own interpretation of the form you’re working with. You’re encouraged to create whatever your imagination might produce. Our workshops are limited in size, so we can provide individualized instruction for all students here at Cherrylion Studios.
