NEW! So much New New's!


First and foremost, new email contact! New email, studio4artmarin@gmail.com. Please make a note as we are no longer able to get into our Yahoo account. Studio 4 Art has been a victim of email fraud and Yahoo's fix is to shut us down....indefinitely! So, we now have a new email address and soon to come, a new website with a new host. Yahoo is not very customer friendly and as a small business owner of 7 years, paying for their services to support my company, I am truly disheartened. Needless-to-say, it has been a difficult 3 weeks, when we are trying to spread the word about our new classes, lower rates and amazing curriculum.
Phone number is still the same though, 415.596.5546!

Scroll through blog to see all of our classes now being offered.
New
