General Workshop Information

Village Art Workshops is designed to make your experience easy, comfortable, and inspiring. Here’s what you can expect in our classroom, how most workshop days are structured, and a few helpful tips to help you plan ahead.

The Classroom

Workshops are held at the Spruce Creek Professional Center in Summerfield, Florida. Each student is provided with their own 5-foot table. We recommend bringing a plastic tablecloth to protect your workspace.

We use a camera and television projection system so everything the instructor demonstrates can be clearly seen throughout the room. If you are hard of hearing, arrangements can be made to use a microphone during the workshop. Please let us know in advance if you need any special accommodations.

Address and detailed directions are available on our Address & Directions page.

What to Expect During the Workshop

Most workshops follow a similar daily rhythm:

Morning demonstration and instruction by the artist
Guided student practice time
A midday break for lunch
Afternoon demonstrations, individual work time, and instructor feedback

Workdays are structured but relaxed, allowing plenty of time to learn, experiment, and paint.

Comfort and Supplies

Jackets or sweaters are recommended, as the classroom temperature may vary.

You may bring your own lunch or choose from many nearby restaurants.

Village Art Center offers Arches and Fabriano Artistico 140 lb. paper for sale at $10 per sheet, and Arches 300 lb. paper at $24 per sheet (availability may vary by workshop).

Please refer to each workshop page for the instructor’s specific supply list.
