Man Painting En Plein Air

Our traditional Open Studio Sessions have moved outdoors for the summer months!

Open Studio En Plein Air Sessions are perfect for setting aside some dedicated time every week to get out of the house, work on projects and enjoy the beautiful weather outdoors with fellow artists. Chat, share tips and tricks of the trade and leave feeling encouraged.

An experienced artist is often available during Open Studio to provide you with advice, help with your current project and help you understand your artistic vision.

There is no formal instruction provided during these sessions.

Please read more information about what to bring.
