Ongoing Classes

If you have had previous art experience and are comfortable with the fundamentals, our ongoing classes offer you opportunities for continuity in your studies. They have been designed to provide students individualized learning in an open studio environment. Classes are typically offered September through May and students may join at any time. To fit your schedule, you have the option of prorated classes.

Workshops

Our specialty workshops allow you to focus on a specialized technique or subject, or encourage you to explore a new art form, media or style. Each of these workshops may be offered for an intense day or two, or from one to three months and are presented by our faculty or guest artists and presenters.
