Art Workshops in Framingham, MA

Whether you’ve never picked up a brush or you’re looking for time and space to keep creating, there’s a seat for you at our table. Our hands-on workshops in pastel, watercolor and charcoal are small, relaxed and personal. You’ll learn real techniques, try new materials, and leave with something you made yourself.

Each medium offers two ways to join. Our Intro to Techniques sessions cover the fundamentals step by step, with no experience needed. Our Open Studio sessions are self-paced, for starting something new or finishing something you love, with guidance whenever you want it. We also host occasional advanced workshops led by featured guest artists.

All materials are provided, along with complimentary drinks, though you’re welcome to bring your own supplies. Space is limited and reservations are required, so save your spot today.
