Never Taken an Art Class?
Almost everyone feels a little nervous at first. Here are the most common worries.
“I can’t draw at all.”
Drawing is a skill you can learn. We teach it step by step, starting with the basics, the same way artists have learned for hundreds of years.
“Everyone will be ahead of me.”
Our classes are small and mix all levels. Your teacher gives you work that fits where you are.
“Am I too old to start?”
Never! Our students range from 8 years old to adults in their 90s. Many of them are drawing and painting for the first time.
“I don’t have supplies.”
Just come as you are. We give you drawing supplies for your first class, and you can buy professional supplies at the studio.
