Studio Sessions
Move over Van Gogh, there’s a new artist in town! Engage your creative side during Mia Studio Sessions.
Studio Sessions are Mia’s art classes and workshops that offer experienced artmakers and curious novices alike the opportunity to create projects inspired by Mia’s collection and special exhibitions. Each Studio Sessions class features a different subject or medium to explore, and you’ll walk away with expanded knowledge and skills, plus a personal work of art. The only prerequisites for this class are curiosity and an open mind.
Registration required. Registration opens one month in advance.
We offer a limited number of scholarships to welcome all learners to Studio Sessions; please email us for scholarship information.

Upcoming Sessions
September 6 | Cyanotype
Explore the vibrant photographic process of cyanotypes with teaching artist Janae Alyse! This historic technique uses UV light to create detailed prints on surfaces. First, learn the basics of making cyanotypes by creating a test strip and transferring a print to paper. Then experiment with multiple objects, exposure times, and techniques to create a custom set of four greeting cards. The result of cyanotype printmaking is magical and one of a kind. Note: Wear clothing you don’t mind being exposed to cyanotype chemicals.
September 14 | Crop Art
Everyone’s a blue-ribbon winner when you make crop art together! Join crop artist and educator Marta Shore to learn the basics of crop art using seeds, grains, and more. You’ll leave class with your own piece of Minnesota-themed crop art, perfect for keeping the spirit of the state fair alive year-round. Marta Shore is the Assistant Superintendent for Crop Art and Scarecrow at the Minnesota State Fair this year and a self-described crop art evangelist.
