Studio Art
2026-06-22 17:30 - 19:30
This month’s project we will be creating 3D paper house plants.
Studio Art is a creative club designed for adults who long for the simple joy of art class—fresh supplies, playful projects, and that magical feeling of making something just because it feels good. This monthly program brings back the nostalgia of the art room, but with the freedom, humor, and zero‑pressure atmosphere we appreciate as adults.
No experience needed. All skill levels are welcome, from “I haven’t drawn since 5th grade” to “I have a dedicated art corner at home.” Studio Art is about exploration, play, and rediscovering the joy of making things with your hands.
No registration required. All materials provided.
