What to bring
Bring your own supports, paints, and sketchbooks. We supply easels, basic clips, paper towels, and a communal still-life cupboard with bottles, plaster casts, and fabric. Solvents must be low-odour and labelled. Food stays in the small kitchen nook so paint tables stay clean.
First-time open studio visitors get a five-minute orientation covering sinks, waste jars, and fire extinguisher locations. Regulars can arrive, set up, and work until the session closes. If you need longer storage between visits, ask about the short-term drying rack — it is first-come for active canvases only.
Open studio is not a substitute for classes when you want structured feedback. Many members alternate: one guided evening, one independent afternoon. That rhythm keeps skills moving without filling every calendar square with instruction.
