If you choose to join us in-store, please be aware that there is no access to disabled toilets. We request that you not attend any event if you feel unwell.

What's the Difference Between an Art Demo and a Class?

Art Demos – Free & Informational

Art Shed's in-store demos are free, sit-down sessions designed to introduce you to new art products and techniques. These events are usually lecture-style, with our experienced team members demonstrating how to use specific materials or mediums.

While primarily observation-based, some demos may include a small hands-on component to briefly try out the featured products yourself. They're perfect for artists of all levels who want to learn, ask questions, and get inspired.

Art Classes – Hands-On & Creative

Our paid art classes are hands-on workshops in which you create your own artwork while following along with the host. Art Shed provides all the materials needed for the session, and you'll receive step-by-step guidance throughout.

Classes are ideal for those wanting to build their skills, enjoy a creative experience, or complete a project with the help of experienced instructors. You'll walk away with a finished piece and new techniques to use at home.

Whether you're joining a demo or signing up for a class, Art Shed offers a range of inspiring events to suit all skill levels and interests. Check our calendar regularly to stay up to date with what's on.
