Art at Top Floor Studio

p here at TOP FLOOR STUDIO, the ARTIST decides what medium they want to use, which COLORS they want and how they want to apply the PAINT. The TFS staff are always willing to help the YOUNG ARTIST in their CREATIVE PROCESS. From making colors, techniques, composition, stories of famous ARTISTS to helping with cleaning up and untying your apron. This is your STUDIO; we are your assistants. The KIDS will learn by DOING. "Teach a child something and they might forget. Show a child how, and they might be able. Let the child do it and they will understand." --- Digha Nikaya
