$50.00 a month

Since Open Studio hours will be limited in the Marietta studio, (as the schedule works itself out) rather than charging an hourly fee for open studio, I am going to start out with a monthly fee. This monthly fee will allow access to as many hours as you would like. There will be 2-3 sessions of open studio per week. These sessions will be 2-3 hours at a time.

PLEASE NOTE: Open studio hours are for students who need access to the studio to WORK INDEPENDENTLY. There is no instruction during open studio.
