The Artists' Cradle

09/07/2017

Hello all, so sorry for the confusion--I did not realize we still had a Stafford address and phone number listed! I am now in Christiansburg, VA but am also doing online classes with folks--this works ESPECIALLY well for anyone wanting to do digital painting/sculpting or website design but also can be setup for traditional works.

Hey everyone! I have been getting quite a few messages about art classes this summer and so I spent the last week or so putting together some information. I am permanently in Christiansburg now, however, I have actual studio space set up such that I can teach classes online. Please feel free to email me with any questions at [email protected] https://kshepa21.wixsite.com/theartistscradle

Dear all,
Unfortunately due to an increase of costs in the Stafford area we must close our current location of The Artists' Cradle. Our last day of operation at this site will be December 19th. We are however doing everything in our power to still provide a quality experience for you. This includes: additional and extended hours of operation (which should be announced soon) until our closing, maintaining our web presence for those who would like to continue using our services for supplies, printing, matting and framing etc., and I will personally be offering art classes via Skype starting in the new year for students who would like to continue classes with me (for more information on this the best way to contact is [email protected] or leaving a facebook private message). I am currently in the process of finding a new space which will likely not be in Stafford, however, since we will be moving to a more affordable area in Virginia I have opted to look for spaces that will be conducive to overnight summer camps so that hopefully this will be a step in the right direction for offering you even better and fuller services.
Sincerely,
Katy Shepard
Owner/Artist
