As a public school art teacher and (self-proclaimed) professional artist, art is life and a part of everything I do. As long as I can remember, I've wanted to own a business that allowed me to create my own designs and, finally, all the weird and windy pathways of my life have led me to this website and the coming of a new studio, right out of my home! Visit the smART blog often to see updates on my exciting studio renovation!!! You will soon be able to take classes of all media types and skill levels, book studio time for your own art making, or reserve space for your own classes and instruction.
​
In the meantime, thesmARTstudio.org offers a variety of other fun things, beginning with my studio store The Trunk...shop now and shop often, as items are everchanging and sometimes in limited supply. You can visit the smART Classes tab to book your next class in a variety of media; we have classes for all ages and skill levels. Be on the lookout for special seasonal classes throughout the year also! Want to have a unique gathering of friends in your own space, or are celebrating a kids' birthday and need a fun craftivity brought to you? You're in luck...we can bring the pARTy to you! Finally, items specially designed for the art educator can be found on the smART Education tab. Here you can find classroom tips, downloadable unit instructions, editable planners, lesson plan templates and more.
​
Thanks for visiting my site...I hope you have fun exploring and that it helps you make your life a bit smARTer each day.
Sincerely,
the studio smARTist,
Emily Thompson
