If you want to bring out your inner Picasso, several schools and studios in Jacksonville have you covered. They offer fun classes where you can learn everything from drawing to wheel throwing. The best places for art lessons near our Jacksonville apartments include:
Burnt Glassworks
Raised in Jacksonville, Andy Peters took a weekend glass class while in high school. He quickly became hooked. Andy later graduated college with a minor in art. Today, he proudly owns Burnt Glassworks alongside his wife, Jessica. They make bowls, vases, upscale barware, and tumblers made of recycled beer bottles. The couple also invites everyone to come and feel the burn. The studio offers fun workshops for beginners, and you can make ornaments, paperweights, flowers, and more.
Jacksonville Pottery Studio
When Cat Plesko took her first pottery class, she knew she had found her calling. Cat opened the Jacksonville Pottery Studio to share her passion with others. She offers lessons for beginners and open studio time used for private lessons and events. Start with Learn How to Throw Pottery. Designed for first-timers, this level one class teaches how to wedge clay and throw basic forms.
The Art League of Jacksonville
At The Art League of Jacksonville, the mission is to "provide community arts education throughout Northeast Florida." Founder Craig Erskine became passionate about art at a young age. He works in many mediums and shares a wealth of knowledge with his students. The league offers fun classes at the Murray Hill Art Center. Try Tuesday Evening Portrait Drawing. Led by William McMahan, it will help improve your ability to draw from observation as you explore different media.
