Frequently Asked Questions

We have evaluated our teaching methodologies and progressive project-based programs in a small group setting and have determined that the earliest starting age of 10 is appropriate for the most comprehensive learning experience and best success in mastering the techniques taught at Studio H. During the introduction trial assessment class required for ages 10-12 a determination will be made by the instructor at the end of class whether the student is ready for our program and can enroll in classes at Studio H.

Tuition Billed on the first of every month. $115.00 a month for a 1-hour class per week. $160.00 a month for a 1.5-hour class per week. $207.00 a month for a 2-hr class per week. Additional classes taken are discounted at 16% off.

Yes, once you enroll you choose a class time and day of the week that remains the same unless you decide to change it.

Our class sizes are small enough that we can individualize allowing each student to feel like they are receiving personalized one on one instruction.

We have a minimum of 3 students and a maximum of 10.

Each small group class can be mixed from beginners to advanced levels and each student is individually taught. Every student is working on his or her own project in their chosen medium program. Art classes at the studio are for ages 10 to adult.

While we have always offered small class sizes and a clean and welcoming space, there are some additional procedures we have implemented to help keep everyone healthy and safe as we resume art in our physical studio. You can read about them in detail.

Afternoon and evening mixed age classes are 1-hour increments and adult morning classes are either 1.5 or 2-hours long. You are welcome to add more times and days if you wish, based on open class size availability. Many of our adult students feel after 1 hour they do not want to stop and love having the opportunity to continue for a 2nd hour.

Based on our standard tuition classes are 1 hour once a week. You are always welcome to add more hours either on the same day or a different day based on class size availability.

We are on a monthly tuition where it is a flat rate for the monthly tuition without pro-rating. We do not want to have any confusion with pro-rating, there is no varying fee and it makes it easier for parents and students to know the cost as well as benefiting with some free art classes for the year. This monthly tuition method is in line with most extracurricular businesses and balances out for the 5 week months for the year (in the students & parents favor).

Studio H has all of the supplies available in a kit form for you to purchase for each medium program that we offer. We have many years of professional art experience and have extensively tested many art supplies over the years and have chosen the best products that can be used for beginners to advanced students with excellent results. When students buy or bring in subpar or low-quality supplies they can get frustrated and struggle to achieve their desired results in their artwork.

Currently, we teach soft chalk pastels and pastel pencils, graphite pencils, Prisma colored pencils, Pigma Micron ink pens and brush pen, watercolors, acrylics, and water-soluble oils.
