"It's the fun of doing it that's important!" - Mr. Rogers.
This studio provides a space for students of ANY age to have FUN while also learning a variety of professional art skills.
Through various techniques and mediums, students will learn how to think like artists.
We will focus on how to be more creative, experimental, and expressive. These artistic traits will ideally transcend beyond the studio and into our lives in meaningful ways.
Free Spirit Studio is located at 121 E. Mason Street in Santa Barbara, CA (Inside of the Funk Zone Art Gallery in the Funk Zone).
