Teens and older students
Evening studio sessions for students who want to get properly good at something. Technique taught seriously, work that belongs to the maker, and a room where being the kid who draws is the normal thing to be.

Taught like it matters
Drawing, painting, and ceramics taught as skills to build over terms, not one-off crafts. Students work on pieces across several sessions rather than finishing something every week.
Evenings, after everything else
Sessions run 5:30–7:00pm so they sit after school and around sport and rehearsal, not against them.
A studio, not a classroom
Six to twelve students, individual instruction, and the freedom to take a piece where you want it once you know how the material behaves.
Work from the evening studio
Drawing, painting, and ceramics by students aged 11 to 18, made over several sessions rather than in one sitting.




Upcoming classes for ages 11–18

About this Program
4 Weeks September 16, 23, 30 and Oct 7

Our open studio classes are structured for students in grades 9–12, We offer dedicated time and space to develop artistic skills, explore new materials, and build a personal body of work. Whether you're creating portfolio pieces, experimenting with new techniques, or pursuing independent projects, this class provides guidance in a relaxed, studio-style environment.
Students may work in drawing, painting, mixed media, or other two-dimensional art forms at their own pace, with individualized instruction and feedback from the instructor. Demonstrations and mini-lessons are offered as needed, while the majority of class time is devoted to hands-on studio practice.
This class is ideal for students who enjoy working independently, want to strengthen their technical skills, prepare for advanced art courses or college portfolios, or simply make art in a supportive community of fellow artists.

Our Studio Drawing and Painting Classes provide students with instructional studio time to explore various materials, methods, and concepts related to fine art.
Our environment strives to enhance observational skills, technical proficiency, and creative expression through structured projects and personal exploration with an emphasis on line, shape, value, texture, and composition- including observational drawing from life. Materials include the use of media like graphite, charcoal, acrylic paint, guache, watercolor, and ink. In addition, students are introduced to color theory, mixing, and learning form through light and shadow. We encourage personal voice and expression, developing original ideas and critiquing self and peer's artwork in a positive setting.
