STUDIO SPACE, MATERIALS, AND EQUIPMENT

Inky Blues Community Art Center staff will be present to assist with basic instruction while you are at the studio.

Open space is subject to availability; studios are first come, first served.

As a studio participant, you agree to handle equipment with care and leave the studio in the state you found it when you arrived.
