Welcome to Artisan Studio, a cozy, comfy, colorful and inspiring studio where creativity is contagious! We encourage our students of all abilities and ages to enjoy new experiences with different materials, techniques and ideas.
Artisan Studio has been at its current location in Marlboro, NJ for 22 years, and we have been enjoying the many changes and challenges each decade brings to us. Changes in social, economical, and educational factors need to be considered. With that acceleration comes immediate expectations of rewards or answers. In addition, a growing lack of patience, sense of reality, and most importantly, the lack of critical thinking, logical and tactile experiences are greatly missed.
They now live on glass screens: cell phones, tablets, desktops. Where is the joy of mixing paints and markers on papers, experimentation of using watercolors to wash over a paper to create the first level of a acrylic painting? Pastels, charcoal, ink, oil paint… rulers, T squares, erasers, clay, papier mache’… using our hands, not just thumbs dancing on glass as they tightly hold their phones!
To accommodate these changes, and enrich new interests, we are offering classes that literally build skills of architectural drawings and 3D models, as they learn about perspective drawing, the very heart of realism. Designing of homes, schools, buildings, stores, vehicles or a new bedroom for themselves.
Working with clay they are able to create humans, monsters, animal and cartoon figures, and other 3D subjects from the inside stages to outer finishes.
IMAGINATIONS & CREATIONS

Ages 6 -9
MS. GAIL
Think of all the clothes and accessories your kids wear… they love it at first but then grow tired of it, usually in a short span of time. If they put an effort into what a cap and/or Tee shirt might look like if they designed a great pic, emblem or logo, they will be proud of their own imaginations, and happy to wear them. They can choose to create a cap or hat with an original design or character.
Using white slip-ons, high tops or crocs,Tee shirts and short jackets will make great canvases for self expression,. Students will learn the process of design, color theory, proportion and fabric choices. They will then be transferring their design to the real footwear or clothing of their choice. They will feel the same for a cap or hat of their choice if they prefer! They will definitely enjoy the learning process and then have pride in their accomplishments!
Future projects will be very interesting as they will learn how design a interior: a house or store, or a specific area :den, bedroom , play area of their choice. They will be excited to learn how to make items look 3D. It will be a bit challenging, but lots of fun!
This class will definitely inspire your child’s creative potential.

THE ABOVE PICTURES SHOW OUR CLASSROOMS AND VARIOUS ARTWORKS CREATED BY STUDENTS OF ALL AGES AND ABILITIES.
FRIDAY GROUP CLASSES FOR ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
OUR ORIGINAL, POST COVID OBJECTIVE WAS TO CREATE A WEEKLY SOCIAL GROUP WHERE WE ENCOURAGE AND START CONVERSATIONS IN AN INFORMAL SETTING FOR THOSE WHO HAVE LOST THESE OPPORTUNITIES AND SOCIAL SKILLS. THESE CLASSES WERE SO SUCCESSFUL, HAVE GROWN ORGANICALLY AND ARE VERY APPREICIATED AND ENCOURAGED BY THEIR DEVOTED AND CARING PARENTS. WE ARE SO PROUD OF THE PROGRESS THAT EACH AND EVERY SUDENT HAS ACCOMPLISHED.
WE RECOGNIZE THAT EACH STUDENT HAS THEIR OWN LIKES, DISLIKES AND LIMITATIONS. WE TAILOR EACH PROJECT TO FIT THE STUDENT’S ABILITIES AND INTERESTS, WHILE ALSO ENCOURAGING THEM TO TRY NEW EXPERIENCES. ENCOURAGEMENT, KINDNESS AND PATIENCE GOES A LONG WAY, THEY HAVE COME TOGETHER AS A TEAM TO HELP ONE ANOTHER. SHY AND NON-VERBAL STUDENTS JOIN IN, WITH CLAPPING HANDS AND HAPPY SQUEALS! TEACHERS BEAMING, IT’S A VERY HAPPY PLACE!
OUR CLASSES WILL OFFER 2 - 4 HOURS OF CREATIVITY THAT MATCH OUR STUDENTS’ INTERESTS AND AVAILABILITIES.
THEY HAVE GREATLY IMPROVED THEIR SKILLS, INCREASED THEIR SELF ESTEEM AND PRIDE IN THEIR ARTWORKS WHILE HAVING FUN.
FRIDAYS 12:00 - 2:00 PM
2:00 - 4:00 PM
*A personal note from Ms. Marlene, Owner/Instructor:
I am happy to have this opportunity to work with Dr. Carole, it is very important and personal: I have a twin brother who did not have the opportunity like this in the 1950’s through 60”s. There was no diagnosing, protection or understanding of ADHD and other disabilities. He suffered mental and physical harm as well as having no self esteem or confidence and as an adult, remembers the cruelties and still suffers from PTSD.
If there was understanding of various disabilities like the above, so may lives could have been protected, respected and turned around…
HERE ARE SOME SAMPLES OF OUR ADULTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS SHARING THEIR PASSION FOR ART
WHETHER IN OUR STUDIO OR AT THEIR HOME VIA ZOOM CLASSES, THEY ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS SO BEAUTIFULLY
