A Room for Art

A Room for Art is a place to paint, draw, build, print, bind, glue and sculpt. Classes for children and adults are held in a sunny home studio in Arlington, MA. More than a room, it is time and space to work with your hands, enjoy materials and make your ideas concrete.

Location

A Room for Art is located in Arlington Heights at 115 Robbins Road. The Studio is down the driveway on the right side of the house.

Fall Classes 2011


I know it's Fall but I'm still looking for that ocean at the Cape. May the beauty of the landscape, the light and colour, inspire us as the days shorten and our lives get busier!
I hope you all have had a great summer and are refreshed and ready for the upcoming fall schedule.

My schedule of classes is changed a bit so look closely. If you are interested in fall classes let me know by email and I will send you the registration information. I will be sending the schedule to my email list as well.
Age groupings are flexible and might change a little as families sign up in the next few weeks. I try to keep classes to 8 or less students so let me know soon if you are interested.
