Open Studio takes place Thursday through Saturday from 4–6 PM.

When you arrive, the studio is set and ready—you’re welcome to grab a tea or beverage, settle in, and begin. You’ll choose from our Restoration Menu, a curated selection of creative experiences including watercolor, charcoal, pastels, acrylic, alcohol ink, and more.

Each experience is beginner-friendly and gently guided, so you can create at your own pace without pressure. We provide high-quality, thoughtfully selected materials—including professional-grade supplies—so you can explore, experiment, and enjoy the process.

It’s a calm, welcoming space designed to help you slow down, reconnect, and leave feeling lighter.

Let’s start with what they are not—they are not traditional art lessons.

Guided sessions at Restoration Studio are structured creative experiences designed to help you slow down, explore, and create in a calm, supportive environment—without pressure or expectations.

We focus on process art, not performance art. This means you’re invited to create freely, connect, and enjoy the experience of making art without a specific outcome in mind. It’s deeply restorative for both your mental and emotional well-being.

When you arrive, the studio is thoughtfully prepared with a curated selection of creative experiences from our Restoration Menu. Each session may highlight a few featured mediums or techniques, offering a cohesive but flexible experience.

You’ll receive gentle guidance, prompts, and optional direction throughout the session—but you’re always free to follow your own creative instinct.

A studio guide is present the entire time to support you, answer questions, and encourage your process as needed.

Each session is designed to feel fresh, inspiring, and approachable—so you can simply arrive, create, and leave feeling lighter.

Yes! These special sessions, held Saturdays from 1–3 PM, are guided experiences. You’ll still have four curated tables with materials to explore and rotate through at your own pace.

The difference is that each Exploration Session centers around a specific medium or technique. In a typical guided session, each table features a different medium. In Exploration Sessions, all tables are connected by one cohesive theme.

For example, one month may focus on fiber arts—where you might explore needle felting at one table, wet felting at another, and painting with fibers at another. Another session might focus on mixed media, with one table dedicated to inky base layers, another to collage using ephemera, washi tape, and stamping, and more.

You’ll still move between tables, but with a deeper, more immersive experience within a single creative focus.

We’ll also be introducing sessions that explore global art traditions—so stay tuned!

Absolutely!

If you have a group of 10 or more and we don’t yet have bookings for a Thursday–Saturday evening (6–8 PM), you can reserve the studio for a private experience.

Have a smaller group? If you have 6 or more and would like to book outside of those hours, we’d love to work with you—just reach out!

We can accommodate groups of up to 24 in the studio and regularly host corporate wellness sessions, private events, ladies’ groups, church groups, birthday celebrations, and more.

If your group is larger than what the studio can hold, we can also bring the studio to you.

Simply submit the private event inquiry form, and we’ll work together to create an experience that’s exactly what you’re looking for.

For private events, yes—BYOB is absolutely welcome.

For our open, ticketed sessions, we’ve chosen to create an environment that is mindful of everyone in our community, including teens, those who have experienced trauma related to alcohol, and individuals in recovery. Because of this, we do not allow alcohol during public sessions.

If you have a group of 6 or more and would like to gather after a guided session (for example, from 8–10 PM) and enjoy a bottle of wine during your reserved time, we’re happy to accommodate that.

Our goal is to create a space that feels safe, supportive, and welcoming for everyone.

Yes! While we offer consistent weekly hours with scheduled sessions you can count on, the studio is also available outside of those times for private bookings.

If you’d like to reserve the space for your group at a different time, simply reach out—we’re happy to accommodate whenever possible.

Absolutely. Collaboration, connection, and supporting other creatives, entrepreneurs, and visionaries in our community are at the heart of who we are at Restoration Studio.

If you have an idea and feel there’s an opportunity to build something meaningful together, we would love to hear from you—please reach out!
