Prefer smaller payments? Go unlimited quarterly at $825 every 3 months — the year saves you $300.

The Details

Which card fits you?

Just curious? Come for a single hour or a one-off visit — no commitment at all.

Once or twice a month: the 10-hour card gives you ~6 visits whenever they happen.

About once a week: the 20-hour card — roughly 3 months of weekly painting, used at your pace.

A regular habit: the 40-hour card gives you the lowest hourly rate of any card.

Twice a week or more: stop counting hours — go Unlimited, quarterly or annual.

How it works

Choose what's included and your hours (or go unlimited — quarterly or annual), and buy online or at the front desk.
Drop in during studio hours — no booking, no fixed timeslot. Come weekly, twice a week, or whenever life allows.
We track your hours at the desk — use them in any size chunks until they're done. Unlimited members just walk in.

Validity & renewals

Pass cards are valid for 12 months from purchase — your hours are always yours. Quarterly unlimited runs 3 months from purchase; renew whenever you're ready.

Already a weekly-class member? You're never locked in

If you're a weekly-class member and life stops cooperating with your weekly slot, we'll move you to a pass card — your unused classes are credited toward it, and you start at our best 20-hour rate, not the small-card rate. Your art keeps going; nothing you've paid for is lost.
