NEW: CLASSES AND WORKSHOPS FOR CHILDREN AND ADULTS!

As the studio expands, we are excited to offer a selection of classes for children and adults! These range from after-school preschool art classes and kids' workshops to one-day workshops and multi-week classes for adults. We are welcoming an array of artists to teach these new classes, and are thankful for the skills and unique creative perspectives they bring to the studio.

In June, we kicked off our new Sober Sip & Paint series! These nights have been an instant hit, and we love the opportunity to continue developing our relationship with the local recovery community by offering a sober-friendly alternative to traditional sip & paint nights. We have two more events this year on September 22nd and November 10th, and would love to have you! Learn more and sign up by clicking the button below.
