What to expect
All supplies provided
Dress for paint and dust
Arrive ten minutes early
Never purchase materials before your first session. We stock all paper, charcoal, clay slabs, glazes, acrylic paints, brushes, and student guitars directly in the studio.
Wear clothes that can take wet pigment or clay dust. Studio aprons hang by the front door, but messy sleeves and stained cuffs are standard practice.
Come early to pull an easel, choose a work apron, and pour clean rinse water before studio instructors demonstrate the day's exercise.
Reserve your easel or wheel online, or call our coordinator at +1 (352) 814-0592 to claim a desk in person. We hold seats up to class start.
