WHAT TO EXPECT


Low commitment. High quality.

There's something about making art outside, with good people around you, that just settles the mind. Our workshops are built for that. A few hours where you unwind, get your hands into something new, and walk away with a finished piece and a skill you actually have. No pressure. No pitch. Just a really good afternoon.

  • ou won't sit and watch. Every workshop puts materials in your hands within the first ten minutes.

  • Every workshop is led by the studio's founder — the same instruction you'd get in a full program.

  • All materials are provided. You leave with what you made and nothing to buy.

Moments


A look at what happens when people who have never painted before sit down and try. Every session, someone surprises themselves.

More coming soon.

New workshops are added each month. Sign up to get notified when new dates are posted.
