FALL/WINTER 2026
Mini Masterpieces
A weekly creative class where students learn techniques in painting, charcoal drawing, perspective drawing. block carving & printing and clay sculpting. Our mixed age setting, with a maximum of only 5 students, allows children to explore a topic at their own pace and level with the benefit of developing their own social competencies, enabling younger students to access more challenging approaches and older students develop a sense of mentorship.
Young learners create art inspired by words and melodies—building confidence, imagination, and a lifelong love of the arts. Each class is filled with the sounds of classical music and poetry, both of which have captured the height of human emotion, the beauty of nature, and the power of limits. These will be the foundation for the unique artwork that the students will create.

Mini Maison
A Five-Day Interior Design Atelier
Learn the fundamentals of interior design while transforming a room of your own.
Mini Maison is a personalized introduction to the art and principles of interior design. Over five private, one-hour sessions, students learn the fundamentals of designing a beautiful, balanced and functional interior while developing a complete design concept for one room in their own home.
Rather than studying design in the abstract, each student applies every lesson directly to their chosen space. From measuring the room and planning furniture arrangements to selecting colors, lighting, fabrics and finishing details, the course provides a structured approach to making thoughtful design decisions.
The emphasis is on developing the student's own eye for design—not simply following decorating trends.

Draw - Guess - Laugh
Art has a way of bringing us together—and sometimes the best creativity happens when we're simply laughing, playing, and enjoying the company of friends.
Reserve the studio for your own private gathering and include the beloved game of Pictionary®. Team up and put your creativity and storytelling skills to the test as you draw, guess and laugh.
Make it a complete night out by bringing in catered appetizers or dinner from one of Uptown's exceptional restaurants and cafés. Share good food, enjoy great company, and rediscover the simple pleasure of spending time together.
