Open Studio - Painting/Drawing/Pastels/Craft (June)
2025-06-30 08:00 - 22:00
This open studio is for June, 2025.
Don’t have a studio of your own at home? Borrow ours. A Maker’s Circle is opening our studio to each of you to continue your creative journey in our beautiful, light filled space.
Each month, our studio will be open for you to use to work on paintings, drawings, pastels, knitting or any portable craft work that you have in progress. Just bring your work and art supplies and set yourself up in one of the upstairs studios (Studio C or Studio D).
Important: We will post specific times and studio rooms on our website that are available for you to use. This schedule will change monthly based on scheduled classes and will be posted on our website at least 1 week prior to the beginning of the month. As long as it fits into this schedule, you may use the studio as much or as little as you want. Remember, this is unsupervised time, there will be no instruction available…just quiet time for you to work.
Open studio access is available to purchase on a monthly basis. Upon sign up, students will be given an access code to our front door to use upon entry and must lock up if you are the last to leave. That code will change monthly. Once you sign up, we will meet with you to go over studio logistics and have you sign a waiver.
