Things to bring:
Please bring your own portable easel. (Beginning in mid-June, 8 easels will be available for first-come first-served attendees.) Bring your own drawing board, drawing paper and tools. If you want to paint, please use odorless mineral spirits bought from an art store (hardware store brands are not really odorless). Those using pastels may want to bring a large towel to lay on the floor to catch dropped pastels so they are easier-found and less likely to shatter.

Many people bring music, wine or snacks to share.

Four hours of open studio time dedicated to whatever you need to do to forward your art. Bring in a painting that needs to be resolved, starts something you’ve been putting off, bring your camera and learn how to photograph art, hire a model and use the space. Kristina will be available to demonstrate techniques and instruct with flexibility around your needs. Network, mingle, and be a part of your community of fellow artists.
