Every session is adjusted to match where you are starting from.

    Yes. Private sessions are available for a wide range of ages, including children as young as 5. Young students who want more individualized attention than a group class offers can benefit from the focused instruction of a private lesson. The studio also offers structured programs like the White Lion Kids Art Club and Young Artists Academy for ongoing youth development.

Specialty or in-depth projects require a custom quote, and no prior experience with these mediums is necessary since instructors walk you through every part of the process.
  • Is a reservation required, or can I walk in for a private lesson?

    Instructed classes, including private lessons, are by appointment only and require a paid reservation to guarantee your spot. Payment for online reservations is processed at the time of booking. Walk-ins are only available for Open Create sessions, not for instructed private lessons. Arriving 5 to 10 minutes before your scheduled session is encouraged so you have time to get settled.
  • What should I wear or bring to a private art session?

    Art is a hands-on, sometimes messy process, so wearing clothes you do not mind getting paint on is a good idea. The studio provides aprons, but there is always some risk of paint contact with personal clothing. For basic painting and drawing sessions, all materials are provided. If you are working on a specialty project that requires specific materials, your instructor will clarify what is needed when you book.
