New Studio in Midtown Now Open for Classes

I am very excited about my new teaching space in Midtown. I have recently renovated the apartment in our charming house in Midtown into a teaching studio and will begin teaching painting classes and workshops this month. You can check out my blog to see the  improvements and work in progress.  http://dawnart.blogspot.com/2014/08/work-in-studio.html
Having my own teaching space will allow for a lot of extra features you just can't offer other places. So I'm really looking forward to it and I think my students will love it.

I hope you can join me for a class or workshop.

6 Days, 10 Palettes, 9 Tables Later....Studio's Almost Ready!

The bulk of the work is finished and I'm ready to start offering classes in my new studio space.
Despite all the thunder storms this week, I was able to finish my studio project. I set up a tent in the back yard to be able to keep building and then used the front porch for the finishing work, mainly the sanding and painting.
Classes start on September 23 and I needed furniture for the students, mainly tables to hold their supplies. I decided to build my own out of reclaimed wood to match the feel of my cottage styled studio in Midtown. I made each table a little different, all about the same height, but I played with the pattern of the wood and made a few full-sized tables as well. I want it to be inviting, a place that students can feel comfortable and creative! So here it is ...6 days, 10 palettes and 9 tables later.

I hope my classes love the new space !

Studio Tables are in the Works







 I decided to build the studio furniture for my classes out of reclaimed wood. I love the idea of boycotting plastic and having hand built tables the really match the style of the studio.   Decided to go with a distressed blue and white color palette that goes with the venetian plaster and the white molding in the rooms. I think it'll give the space a warm and inviting feel. Hope my students will love it as well!
