In Layered Landscapes, we’ll start with simple materials and build a composition using painted papers, acrylic paint, texture, shape, color, and layering.

You don’t need to arrive with a finished idea. We’ll take it step by step, experimenting with materials and making creative decisions as your piece develops.

Everyone will create a large original mixed-media landscape, with guidance throughout the process. No two finished artworks will be alike.

A creative business rarely looks exactly the same 17 years later.

Express Yourself Studios was founded in 2008, and for more than 16 years we welcomed people into our brick-and-mortar studio.

In March 2025, that chapter closed.

The business didn’t.

We transitioned to a fully mobile and off-site model, bringing professionally facilitated creative experiences directly to corporations, libraries, schools, senior communities, healthcare organizations, nonprofits, and community partners.

That transition reminded us of something important:

Express Yourself Studios was never just about a building.

It was about the experience.

The teaching.

The relationships.

And creating environments where people of different ages and experience levels feel comfortable making something.

National Black Business Month gives us an opportunity to reflect not only on longevity, but on adaptability.

Seventeen years later, we’re continuing to evolve and continuing to bring creativity directly into the communities and organizations we serve.

August is National Black Business Month, and we're taking a moment to reflect on the journey.

For more than 17 years, Express Yourself Studios has partnered with libraries, schools, senior communities, nonprofits, businesses, and organizations throughout New Jersey to make creativity more accessible.

As a Black-owned business founded by artist and teaching artist Simone Anthony-Brown, we've learned that art has the power to bring people together, build confidence, and create lasting connections.

Thank you to every organization that has invited us into your community and to everyone who has created alongside us over the years.

We're looking forward to sharing new workshops, new resources, and new creative opportunities this fall.

Every workshop starts with the same materials, but they never end the same way.

Watching people take an idea and make it their own is one of the most rewarding parts of a workshop.

Whether we're working with clay, paint, collage, or mixed media, each class becomes a collection of completely different creative voices.

Express Yourself Studios is currently booking fall and winter workshops for libraries, schools, senior communities, organizations, and workplaces throughout New Jersey.

"I'm not creative."

It's one of the most common things our founder and teaching artist, Simone Anthony-Brown, hears at the start of just about every workshop.

After more than 17 years of bringing hands-on art experiences to libraries, schools, senior communities, workplaces, and organizations across New Jersey, she's learned that creativity isn't something we lose, it's something we rediscover.

In her latest Inside the Layers essay, Simone reflects on why creativity belongs to everyone.

Imagine creating something you'll enjoy long after the workshop ends.

During Clay & Succulents, you'll transform a simple slab of clay into a handcrafted planter featuring botanical textures inspired by nature. Then you'll complete your creation with a live succulent provided by South Street Gardens.

Every planter will be different because every maker brings their own creativity to the experience.

No pottery wheel.
No previous experience.
Just a creative morning designed for beginners.

There is something satisfying about creating with your hands.

Hand-building pottery doesn’t require a wheel or previous experience, just curiosity and a willingness to slow down for a couple of hours.

Each piece will be uniquely your own.
