Casa’s unique visual art studio space is available for individuals to work independently in their preferred art discipline. Fully-equipped, communal studios for textile, printmaking, photography, woodworking, sculpture, pottery and 2D art forms are accessible by Studio Access Pass holders. A brief consultation with a studio technician is required to demonstrate a sufficient level of proficiency regarding the use of tools and specialized studio equipment. “I’ve been a Casa member for 3 years. I got my start taking a beginner wheel class and continue to enjoy working with clay. Being in the studio is a welcome diversion from the stresses of everyday life. People shouldn’t feel intimidated by using a pottery wheel, you can hand-build wonderful pieces as well.” – Tammy Hollingsworth

“An inclusive and open environment that allows for creative inspiration. The staff is always keen to give advice and critique on an artist’s latest work. The large open studios with natural light allow the artists not only room to create their work but the atmosphere in which to do so.” – Brad Dunn

“Casa has basically saved my sanity. Having a studio at Casa allows me to paint in an environment that is conducive to my need to paint, when I can and when I want. It is my retreat away from the stress of the outside world.” – Elizabeth Ginn

STUDIO ACCESS IS AVAILABLE 7 DAYS A WEEK.
