Make sense of things.
Make art.
A space for adults to create, express, and make sense.
These are not your typical art classes. We don't focus on technique or proper form — we focus on the making. And the fun. Our art classes are a space for stress relief, self-expression, and making sense of things.
The process of creating can be healing, each medium bringing out a different language we might not realize we speak. Art can help you bring life to feelings and thoughts waiting to become tangible — a way of self-discovery.
We focus on emotive themes like hope, growth, redemption, loss, and love. Each class is tailored to its participants, through guided prompts or agreed upon themes, making no two sessions ever the same.
No experience necessary, no skill level required. Whether you've never picked up a brush or you create every day, this is the place for you.
Register today, start making tomorrow!
Sessions are customized and spots are limited.
PAINTING / COLLAGE / POETRY / DRAWING
Starting with some collaborative warm ups followed by time for individual work, come share your words with us.
Pick what speaks to you, cut it up, stick it together, and see how the details make up the bigger picture.
Experiment with color, shapes, and lines to really see how there are different strokes for different folks.

"Getting the chance to meet Michelle and hear her ideas about art was very inspiring. She really made me think about my reasons for making art.
Spread the word— she needs more students! They will love her!"
Kimberly would recommend a class to a friend.

"I loved the brainstorming of ideas before the brush hit the canvas. This creative process was meaningful which led to inspirational ideas, which turned into a painting. "

Our Instructor
Hi, I'm Michelle, a lifelong artist with a background in psychology and founder of The Making Room. I believe the process of creating can be cathartic, refreshing, and incredibly fun. I've led over 2,000 hours of expressive art classes, helping people of all skill levels find joy in the process of creating. I've helped people use art to manage stress, express themselves, and find community. You can count on me to show up to every class with positive energy, a curious mind, and genuine care. Past clients have shared that my classes can be a bright spot in a tough day and a grounding yet enlightening experience. I hope to see you soon!
