Learn Make Live, Baltimore

Artist Jennifer Lo wants everyone to feel welcome and inspired in her classes at Learn Make Live. By sprinkling their sessions with humor and step-by-step instructions, she and the other instructors do just that. A stop into one of the classes yields knowledge in making everything from paintings to prints to mandalas—geometric patterns and spiritual signifiers in Buddhism and Hinduism. And at the end of each class, students walk away with a one-of-a-kind piece that's perfect for the mantelpiece or the Newbie wing at the Guggenheim.
