The Story:
L’ Ecole Des Beaux Arts (LDBA) was started because even with a degree in fine art, I had difficulty in finding the instruction, information and tools I needed to continue to grow and become a better artist. I noticed that the same was true for my friends and neighbors, most of whom are also artists, innovators, and creatives. As I started a dialogue with them, the need became clear: we needed a kind of two-fold community institution. Yes, we needed place where we could obtain artist supplies and tools, but we needed it to include an open studios educational element – a space that would provide classes taught by local, community experts for adults and children alike. The response was overwhelming. People came out of the woodwork wanting not just to share their expertise, but wanting to continue their own educations by enrolling themselves and their children as well.

We Cyclopes care not a jot for Zeus with his aegis, nor for the rest of the blessed gods, since we are much stronger than they…
Kickstarter contributors, look out for your Cyclops drawings a-la Andrew Tarlow.
Yesterday’s knife skills class at This Must Be the Place was a blast! Reynards’ butcher Andrew Dorsey (formerly of Marlow & Daughters) taught Kickstarter backers all about single and double bevels and what to do when you have burrs.
Also, JB Prince knives awesomely donated stones and steels to all participants! We hope to have more classes like this one soon. Stay tuned!

First up, Marlow & Daughters senior butcher Andrew Dorsey offered to teach a class in knife skills with the help of JB Prince. More than slicing and dicing techniques, Dorsey will let class-goers in on the best and easiest ways to maintain their utensils.
More classes, rewards, shows, subscriptions, love to come!
