Every intermediate workshop is led by studio founder Teresa Grasby. She takes on the subjects artists find most challenging and shares the efficient process she has developed for them, worked in a loose and expressive style — most artists use the series to build one large‑format canvas to take home.
*No class Saturday Oct 10 (Thanksgiving weekend). Book a full series or drop into any single workshop.
