Tuesday Night Studio is now 6-8 pm (instead of 7-9)!

We polled some of our regulars and it seems that this time is better for most people. If it's tight for you to get here by 6, don't fret — we always welcome latecomers. Feel free to pop in or out any time during the 6-8 window.

$10 per person
Tea, coffee and seltzers provided

Get 50% off a pizza at Tavolo Ristorante next door. Just show them your email confirmation for Tuesday Night Studio.

What is Tuesday Night Studio anyways??
A relaxed, creative space where you can play around with our art supplies and make something with your hands. We have watercolors, collage materials, air-dry clay, embroidery thread/needles, linocut supplies, coloring books, and more.

No artistic experience necessary!
