Barcelona biologist and artist Claudia Pegenaute teaches fantastic beginners art classes in Spanish on Skillshare: "para que se lancen sin miedo a disfrutar aprendiendo esta técnica tan bonita"
One gift I’ve loved giving to friends and family all over the world is an online subscription to Skillshare - you can get your own free one-month trial here, and you can also gift one year of access to classes about a huge variety of creative and professional subjects.
Most Skillshare classes are in English, but they're rapidly expanding their content in other languages!
If you're in Barcelona, you can also find Claudia's beautiful art prints and magical holiday cards at Tienda Iorana in the Vila de Gracia neighbourhood - it's an great shop.

North Carolina artist Katie Wall Podracky creates calendars and notecards featuring her contemporary impressionist paintings: often inspired by her family's adventures visiting every State Park in North Carolina.

Katie also has an online class on learning oil painting (great for that hard-to-buy-for creative friend!), and offers in-person classes in North Carolina throughout the year.

Sarah also posted a super fun video of how to tie your silk scarf in a rose shape and different ways to style it: it's lots of fun.
