An evening to make something

A quiet, unhurried studio where adults come to paint, throw clay and try their hand at something new. No prior experience required, just a couple of hours to make a little mess and leave with something you made.

No experience needed True beginners welcome
Book your own time Gather friends, pick a project

First time here?

A few good things to know

Never set foot in a studio before? You're exactly who these evenings are for. Here's the practical stuff - and if anything's still unclear, Christine answers her own email.

Where & parking

The log-cabin studio at 190 Hope St N in Port Hope. Free street parking out front, studio entrance is at the side.

No experience needed

Truly. Every session is built for first-timers and returning hobbyists alike. Christine guides each step.

Drinks & nibbles

You're welcome to bring a glass of wine, a beer or a coffee. A few snacks to share never hurt - we'll have water and mugs on hand.

Solo or together

Come on your own and meet a small, friendly group, or grab a friend or partner. Either way you'll be among good company.

Make it your own

Book your own time with friends at the studio

Resolutions are easy to break, aren't they? But if you've promised yourself a little more fun, a new skill, or simply time to be creative then the cozy log-cabin studio is yours to book.

Gather a few friends, spend a couple of unhurried hours together, and pick a project you've always wanted to try. Christine sets everything up and guides you through it - you just bring the company.
