A little behind-the-scenes moment from one of Jessica Mahan’s Painting the Masters ART BAR nights 💚✨
One of the things people love most about Jessica’s classes is that it’s more than just painting. She shares the story behind the artwork, talks through the artist’s techniques and materials, and somehow makes the whole evening feel inspiring, approachable, and really fun (wine in hand definitely helps 🍷).
Jessica’s next ART BAR is coming up:
🎨 Van Gogh’s Wheat Field with Crows
🗓️ May 20
🕕 6–8 PM
And our calendar is getting updated with new summer + fall ART BARS. Keep checking the website and join us!

Beautiful work by Michelle Yeager from Fused Glass Open Studio with Emily Kuchenbecker. The colors in this one absolutely come alive in the light, and we have a feeling it’s going to make whatever space it lands in feel pretty special.
One of the best parts of the studio is watching people surprise themselves with what they can create ✨
