Upcoming Workshops

The Florence Thomas Art School offers workshops and evening classes in the fine arts and heritage crafts for beginner, intermediate and advanced students. Specializing in:

Small class size, most classes limited to 12 students
Quality instruction from accomplished artists from the High Country and across the United States
An enriching, non-competitive, creative environment located in the heart of the Arts District of West Jefferson, NC

NOTE: Unless otherwise noted workshops usually run from 9:30 am – 4:30 pm with an hour break for lunch.

In-person workshops at FTAS will begin in May. Our Board of Directors regularly evaluates this decision with consideration for the safety of instructors, students and staff as the highest priority during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, we will continue to limit class size and require students, instructors, and staff to wear a mask and follow social distancing recommendations.
Please read the student guidelines to determine if taking a workshop is right for you at this time:
