What is an Atelier?
An atelier is a workshop or studio, especially one used by an artist or designer. Currently, Open Your Art is the main studio location for founder Angela Black who is a bookbinder and illustrator, as well as our Pottery Program Manager Jen Pilon (Potter). All other instructors at Open Your Art are welcome to create in the studio and when a class is happening; instructors are always working on their own art alongside students.
