About this Event
Join Studio Mell for our last Drop-In Art Studio of 2026! Come finish up any last-minute handmade gifts, wrap up a piece you've been working on, or start something new to carry you into the new year.
Drop-In Art Studios provide a time for creatives to come and utilize our studio supplies, easels, and other equipment in a space to temporarily call their own. There's no instructor and no set project, so you can start something new, keep going on a piece you love, or just play with materials you don't have at home. We have acrylic paints, acrylic markers, watercolor paper and brushes, colored pencils, oil pastels, pencils, and a variety of paper types. Want to paint on canvas? You can add an 8x10, 12x16, or 16x20 canvas when you get your ticket, or bring your own along with any other supplies you'd like. If you'd like a canvas larger than 16x20, email us at [email protected] at least a few days before the event, and we'll set up a special ticket just for you.
Bring yourself and your creative energy, and we'll have snacks, music, and all the vibes! Drop in anytime between 10am and 1pm and stay as long as you'd like. Space is first come, first served, and kids under 12 are welcome with a grown up. Since the studio is a shared space, please be mindful of the other artists working around you.
You're welcome to take your work home the same day, or leave it with us over the holiday break and pick up where you left off on Saturday, January 16th.
The studio will be closed from December 24th through January 3rd for the holiday break, and Drop-In Art Studio will be back on Saturday, January 16th, 2027. We also have lots of new workshops coming in the new year, like Kinusaiga and paper clay, so follow along on social media to see what's next!
Studio Mell was started in 2018 by graphic designer and illustrator Morgan Elliott Phillips. She founded Studio Mell as a way to help non-profits, small businesses, and solo-entrepreneurs brand their businesses and show up consistently (and looking good!). Over the years, Morgan continued to work with those same individuals to bring publications, children's books, paint parties, and mobile applications to life for her clients. The fun doesn't stop there, because in 2026, she opened her first art studio to expand the creative studio beyond the many emails and zoom calls.
Our studio space is temperature controlled and parking is free. All you need to do is show up ready to create!
