Fall 2026 Dates

Saturdays · 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
September 12, 19, 26 & October 3, 2026

Start Any Time

You do not have to begin at week one. Join on whichever Saturday suits you — each session stands on its own, and Teresa brings you up to speed when you arrive.

You are also welcome to book single dates to work on your own project rather than the week's subject. Bring the piece you have underway and Teresa will work with you on it alongside the group.

Cost

• $95 — single workshop
• $360 — full four-workshop series

Working with Teresa

These intermediate workshops are led by studio founder Teresa Grasby. 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.
