Meet the teachers: Anthony Lee & Helena Noordhoff
Between ceramics, fiber arts, metalsmithing, drawing and painting, studio art, printmaking, and general art exploration, there are opportunities for every artist to create at HoMA. While classes continue at the museum’s Beretania campus for both youth and adults, the reimagined Art School prepares to reopen September 1.
