FAQs

Answers to common questions below

  • None. Classes are built for all skill levels, and most people are genuinely surprised to discover how quickly their inner artist emerges.

  • Then you're exactly who I most like teaching. "I'm not artistic" is almost always something someone was told, not something they tested. Together, we’ll find that inner artist and coax them out!

  • Not every week, and that's on purpose. Some classes are for experimenting with a material with no product expected — that's where the confidence and the skills come from. The finished pieces follow, and they're better for it.

  • Same method, same room — different conversation. Technique, then exploration, then your own work. It isn't a children's curriculum scaled up — it's how anyone learns to work like an artist.

  • Structured. Every class includes instruction and demos; the freedom comes after, once you have the tools to use it well.

  • We’re currently offering classes for 3rd through 8th grades; as well as adult classes.

  • Yes, unless otherwise stated.

  • Blue Cow Art Studio is located at 62 Lyme Rd. Hanover, NH 03755, just across the street from Richmond Middle School. Parking is conveniently located beside the studio. The Studio is also on the Brown bus line.

  • Yes, your student can walk to the studio. I can walk elementary students from Ray School to the studio — just ask when you register.

  • Class fees are listed with our class schedule here.

  • Cancel in writing more than 14 calendar days before the program start date and you can choose either a refund of what you paid, minus a $25 administrative fee, or full studio credit — good for a year from the cancellation date on any Blue Cow class or workshop.

    Within 14 days of the start date, bookings are non-refundable and non-creditable.

    Cancellation requests must be in writing, to hello@bluecowartstudio.com.

    For more information, see our Policies page.

  • If Blue Cow cancels: If a single session is cancelled partway through a term, I'll schedule a make-up where possible.

    Snow days and closures: Blue Cow follows the Dresden Interstate School District. If Hanover schools are closed for weather, or after-school activities are cancelled, our children's classes are cancelled too.

    Adult classes are cancelled by phone or email before the class start time.

    If Blue Cow has to cancel a session for weather, I'll try to schedule a make-up on a Saturday at the end of the term, if possible. That session would be for any adult or kids who missed class for weather that term — basically a hive of activity to make up studio time!

    Missed classes: There's no credit, refund, or private make-up for a missed class, an absence, or a sick day — including when you know about it in advance.

  • While we’re not currently offering these events, please let us know if you’re interested.

  • Come alone or register with a friend. We promise you'll know a few names by the end of the first session.
