WASHINGTON STUDIO SCHOOL is a community of artists and students dedicated to the practice of Fine Arts with conscious awareness of both historical traditions and contemporary experience. Founded in 1985, WSS offers classes in drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking.

Students of all levels develop skills and gain mastery through serious and focused instruction. Working from direct observation in the studio, outdoors and in the study of masterworks at Washington museums, students develop visual perception and understanding of all the ingredients that make artwork.

WSS conducts classes in three terms per year with opportunities for intensive workshops and study throughout the year and during the summer months. Our CERTIFICATE PROGRAM offers committed students the opportunity to pursue a directed curriculum in drawing, painting, sculpture and printmaking.

Faculty at WSS are all practicing artists with degrees in Fine Arts. They are dedicated to sharing their knowledge and experience and committed to furthering a student's pursuit of study in the visual arts. Faculty challenge students and often times do not attempt to provide students with easy formulas. In providing their students with an arsenal of skills, they maintain sensitivity to each student's individual artistic inclination.
