Art Supplies

* IN-STUDIO tuition includes all needed art supplies. Students attending in-studio classes do not need to acquire any additional supplies unless they prefer to use different materials than what we provide in the studio.

* ONLINE class students must acquire their own supplies. Our online class tuition has been reduced to compensate for the supply costs normally allocated for each class.
