Very little. Most supplies can be found around the house or purchased inexpensively online or locally. Common materials include pencils, pens, air-dry clay, string, fabric scraps, construction paper, glue, old magazines, and newspaper. You’ll receive a materials list each month in advance, so nothing is last-minute or costly.

Breakout rooms are intentionally structured, supportive, and fun. • Groups are limited to no more than 5 students • Students begin with 1–3 light, art-related icebreaker questions • They then collaborate on a creative challenge or prompt together The instructor actively moderates and rotates through rooms to offer guidance, answer questions, and ensure a positive experience.

All instruction is 100% LIVE. This is not a library of videos or a self-paced course. Students work with the instructor and their peers in real time every week.

For now, The Artist's Lab has one weekly class and one weekly club hangout for kids, ages 9-12. We will be adding classes for younger kids and teens in the coming weeks. Send us a message if you'd like to be notified when these class options drop!

No prior experience is required! Beginners are very welcome, and more experienced students will still be challenged through skill-building, creative problem-solving, and collaboration.

That’s completely okay! Breakout rooms are small, gently guided, and designed to feel safe and low-pressure. Many quieter students naturally open up over time through shared creative work.

Not exactly. While everyone works from the same skill focus or prompt, projects are often open-ended, allowing for personal expression and unique outcomes. There will be "draw-alongs" and step-by-step exercises in order to build skills and spark inspiration along the way, but there are no cookie-cutter results or instruction.

Both! This is a skills and craft-based art studio. While projects are fun and engaging, there is emphasis is on learning foundational art concepts and developing creative confidence, not just completing a one-off craft. While skills are the tools, craft is the mastery and application of those tools.

Classes run weekly and include time for instruction, independent creation, collaboration, and sharing. Allow for 60 to 75 minutes per session.

Students need a device with internet access, a camera, and the ability to join live sessions and breakout rooms. No special software beyond Zoom is required.
