FBAC Classes

FBAC classes are listed below and update periodically as we connect with more teachers with great class ideas. We also announce our classes in our weekly newsletters, so that is also a great way to hear about new offerings.


If you are looking for a particular class we also offer private lessons please contact contact@frederickbookarts.org and we will see if we can connect you with an FBAC instructor with expertise in your interest.
