Studio Nocturne is an intimate evening studio program led by practicing artist, Katherine Tawse as well as other associate artists, and held within a working art studio. Designed for adults seeking depth, quiet focus, and meaningful creative time, this program offers a rare opportunity to work within an authentic professional studio environment rather than a classroom setting. Sessions take place after hours, when the studio slows and becomes a space for intentional, reflective making.

The experience is artist-led rather than instructional. Participants work alongside the rhythms of active studio practice, guided through gentle prompts, demonstrations, and individual support while maintaining autonomy over their own work. The focus is on process, observation, and personal expression, allowing ideas to unfold organically without pressure to produce a finished outcome. Curated music, an unhurried studio rhythm, and a calm, intentional atmosphere create an immersive experience that feels closer to a private atelier than a traditional class.

Participants may explore drawing, painting, and mixed media, with materials chosen to suit the tone and focus of each session. Studio Nocturne welcomes both beginners seeking a non-intimidating entry into art-making and experienced creatives looking to reconnect with their practice in a grounded, professional studio setting.

To support continuity and deeper engagement, Studio Nocturne follows a simple loyalty model:

Attend four sessions and receive the fifth session complimentary.
Attend four more sessions and receive the 10th session for free plus a curated mystery art box.

Studio Nocturne is for those who value atmosphere, intention, and sustained creative presence where art-making becomes both a disciplined practice and a restorative experience within a working artist’s studio.
