Multi-Week Classes
Classes can range from $100 for a two-session class up to $475 for a 5-week class. See schedule for opportunities and options.
The goal of the classes is to build skills in smaller bites that you can integrate into your practice as you learn.
Drop-In Classes
The most dynamic part of the Kenyon House is the Drop-ins! Ranging from the “Digital Still Life” class and comic/anime illustration drawing sessions, the “Wine & Watercolor” evenings, “Coffee & Crafts” mornings or the “War Hammer/D&D Figure Painting” nights, or even the upcoming art guild ‘Show and Tell’s, there is something at Kenyon House that will invigorate your creative curiosity.
Prices for each will be posted as they are scheduled and will fall in the $10-$25 range, depending on length, materials provided, and stipend for instructor/model.
The goal of the Drop-ins is to allow anyone to try something new without a huge investment, to build community in a open, supportive environment and to have some fun.
Workshops
Mainly held on or over a weekend, the workshops will be extended times (4-8 hours per day) and will have meal breaks. These will be advertized well in advance and generally will range from $200-500 due to the time and space required.
The goal of the Workshops is to give you the highest level of instruction possible in a more immersive environment—free from the distractions of the everyday.
