New school year, new things— what are you hoping to see on our class/workshop lineup this year?
Send me a DM or post your suggestions below & I just might run with your idea! 👀

New for September— Try It sessions!! These sessions are a great way for kids and teens to sample acrylic painting within our studio. Running parallel to regular classes, students will be able to jump in and learn alongside weekly kiddos. They’ll select their own reference from the wall and experience a full class, with no monthly commitment or pressure to buy supplies beforehand.

Limited Try It spots available, bookable on Mondays and Thursdays through September.
