Starting with our own beloved city of Asheville, observe, interpret, and sketch what you see around you! In this small-group/in-person workshop, learn the basics of perspective drawing and urban sketching; explore several approaches and styles of travel journaling; experiment with pen, ink, and watercolors; and take your sketchbook outdoors to begin a new journey.

As a professional art educator for over 30 years, instructor Claire Simpson Jones is passionate about sharing the experience of creating art with others. Working in multiple media and techniques, she holds an undergraduate degree in fine arts, a certification in commercial art, and is a National Board Certified teacher.

Adult Studio

The Museum's studio program for adults offers a core curriculum in drawing, painting, printmaking, and three-dimensional media, and also explores the intersections between them. Local and visiting artists help students of all levels and abilities develop skills in media that reflect techniques and themes featured in the Museum’s Collection and special exhibitions. Classes meet for 3–12 weeks, and are designed for anyone interested in exploring specific media in depth; daylong workshops introduce new media or processes.
