REGISTRATION IS CLOSED AT THIS TIME. PLEASE CHECK BACK FOR SUMMER 2022 EARLY REGISTRATION! Join us for 1, 2 or 3 weeks this summer for a unique, creative experience in a home studio/garden setting.
STUDIO EXPANSION Exciting things are happening... Barry Art Studios is growing! A new house addition offers more existing studio and storage space as well as a foundation for a future (larger) detached studio structure. Our goals include further meeting the needs of both personal artistic projects and Barry Art Studios workshops. And of course, we have added new garden spaces for more varieties of color, texture and sensory art experiences. We are looking forward to Summer 2022. Hope you can join us!
Barry Art Studios is owned and operated by husband and wife teaching team Greg and Theresa Barry. We offer a variety of Workshops and Open Studio opportunities designed for students* who wish to develop, expand and pursue their creative art-making interests.
Unique to Barry Art Studios is the emphasis on learning through observation of the natural world. Garden spaces have been designed specifically to encourage the viewer to appreciate and utilize LINE, SHAPE, FORM, SPACE, VALUE, TEXTURE, AND COLOR. These 7 Elements of Art are alive and ever-changing in the garden and the world around us. Although students are not limited to working only from nature, most will find the garden to be a calming and captivating alternative to the traditional classroom setting.
Workshops introduce and develop strong foundations of both technical skills and creative thinking strategies. Open Studios are geared toward the student who is looking for professional guidance on existing projects, specific media exploration, portfolio preparation for Advanced Placement and/or college admissions.
*At this time, we are limiting the applicants to those entering grades 8 - 12 in the fall of the current school year. Please let us know if you have interest in workshops for younger grades or adult.
