The 2D and Mixed Media Studio houses all the drawing, painting, printmaking, marbling, collage, and some bookmaking and paper workshops.
The spacious renovated barn has tall ceilings with upper and lower windows that bring in an abundance of natural light.
Classes in this studio generally have a maximum of 10 students. Students work on individual tables that can be placed around the room in any configuration. Click through the following gallery to discover our studio and floor plan.

Open Studio Guidelines
During the workshop period, the drawing studio remains open 24/7. Instructors will outline safety guidelines for students who are staying to work, including any tools that should not be used without the instructor present. Students are requested to bring a cell phone in case an emergency arises and they want to contact the on-site coordinator. As is true in all Snow Farm studios, the consumption of drugs or alcohol is not allowed, nor shall students work with studio equipment when under the influence of drugs or alcohol. The last person in any studio is responsible for turning off indoor lights and closing the doors for the night.
