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
April 25 | Terrariums
Make your own forest in a jar in this class all about terrariums. Join artist Savannah Tines to create a unique miniature landscape that blooms through all seasons. You’ll leave class with a completed terrarium, plus the skills to continue creating at home.
Note: You’ll work with materials that may stain clothing, including rocks, dirt, and plants, and instruments like tweezers that require good hand coordination. You’re welcome to bring in found objects to place inside your terrarium to liven up your green scene. The smaller the better!
May 30 | Embroidery
In this workshop, inspired by “An Indigenous Art: Huipiles from Mia’s Collection,” join artist Ivonne Yanez for a guided exploration of three different embroidery styles from different regions across Mexico. Throughout the session, Yanez will touch on the weaving practice and use of huipiles, as well as share information about the unique embroidery techniques often used in creating these textiles. You’ll leave class with an embroidered bandana and the skills to continue creating at home.
Note: No previous knowledge is required, but you’ll need good hand dexterity for stitching. All materials are provided.
Tickets available April 30.
