Any leads on cheap-ish studio art classes?

No, I read your post. I have actually taken studio art courses and know how difficult they can be. Many areas of the fine arts cannot be taught well online. Some fine arts can't be taught at all online. Studio art courses tend to have 3-6 hour studio sessions multiple times a week in person with the professor plus lectures. You get much more out of an in person hands on course like studio art when you're in person hands on with a professor/instructor. Many community colleges offer courses that aren't for credit in arts programs. These tend to be significantly cheaper than classes for credit. They also often have more options for classes.
