ARTSCOOL is a one-of-a-kind creative workshop series for budding artists of all ages
Learning technique—
Loving the process.
LEARN FROM A PROFESSIONAL, WORKING ARTIST IN A REAL STUDIO
All ARTSCOOL classes are led by Jill Hotchkiss — a professional artist with over 15 years of experience in fine art, design, and education. Her background includes gallery exhibitions from New York to Miami, large-scale public art, and collaborations with leading design and architecture firms — all of which is woven into ARTSCOOL’s programming, inspiring and informing every class.
ARTSCOOL’s unique structure offers immersive, real-world technical instruction inside a working artist’s studio. Students develop strong foundations through thoughtfully sequenced, multi-step projects that combine essential skills, high-end materials, integrated art history, and bold creative exploration — empowering them to experiment, make independent choices, and express themselves with confidence and fearlessness.
Creativity isn’t just taught —
it’s lived.
ARTSCOOL is all about:
Artistic rigor
Real skill-building, multi-step projects, technical instruction.
creative freedom
Room for experimentation, individual expression.
Studio setting
Led by a working artist in a real studio, not a classroom
Class Structure
01
We believe learning the “how to” is the first step in laying the foundation for true self-expression.
02
We emphasize process over product — with purpose. Students don’t just learn how to use materials, but why their choices matter
03
At ARTSCOOL, we’re not just teaching kids to make art — we’re teaching them how to be artists.
Foundations in technique—
Freedom in Expression
