The school year brings the return of monthly Sunday Workshops, Winter and Spring Breaks Art Camps, parties for kids and “Wine & Dezine” parties for adults.

In addition, they offer Portfolio Prep classes for teens interested in pursuing art in college; sewing, fashion design and illustration, mixed media and 3D design. Recycling bottles, cardboard, Styrofoam and cans, artists create all sorts of characters, creatures in Papier Mache classes. Artisan takes pride in the integrity and nurturing of their teachers, who truly help their students improve their artistic abilities and gain confidence.
