Working with Teresa

These intermediate workshops are led by studio founder Teresa Grasby, an accomplished artist with 15 years of teaching experience. Teresa takes on the subjects artists find most challenging and shares the efficient process she has developed for them, worked in a loose, expressive style. Most artists use the four sessions to build one large-format canvas — a finished feature wall painting to take home.
