Every program runs in small cohorts — never more than twelve students. Your instructor knows your name by the second session.
Drawing & Charcoal
Learn to see before you learn to draw. Gesture, proportion, and the discipline of observation — taught with charcoal, graphite, and ink.
Tuesday & Thursday evenings · 6:30–9pm · All levels
Oil & Watercolor
From the first wash to the final glaze — pigment, medium, and the alchemy of making light visible on flat surface.
Monday & Wednesday mornings · 10am–12:30pm
Ceramics & Wheel
Hand-building and wheel-throwing. The oldest studio medium. Clay teaches patience and presence.
Saturday sessions · 10am–1pm & 2pm–5pm
Mixed Media
Collage, encaustic, printmaking, and experimental surfaces. For students with foundation skills ready to break rules.
Friday afternoons · 2pm–5pm · Intermediate+
"Every piece of work you see here was made by someone who walked in not knowing how to hold a brush."
— Eleanor Vance, Founding Instructor
Taught by artists who still make work — not educators who stopped.
