The Studio is dedicated to providing fine art instruction by international award winning artists. Martin Ahrens and Joyce Hall bring years of painting and teaching experience to their school in West Ashley, in the Pierpont Crossing Shopping Center. The Studio is a place to learn from full time artists who make their living in their field of art. It is a place for first time painters to learn and grow, and for experienced and professional artists to take the next step. In addition to classes, there are workshops, guest speakers, student shows, and open studio time for students.

The goal of The Studio is to provide an environment for artists of all levels to cultivate and broaden their involvement with the art community. It is a place for the Sunday painter and the skilled professionals to work side by side. In addtion to developing your technical skills, The Studio also provides information and guidance from experienced, working professionals on exhibition and business related issues.
