Happy Medium

"I recently attended a figure drawing session at Happy Medium, and it was a remarkable experience. As an artist, finding a conducive environment to hone my skills is crucial, and this studio exceeded my expectations. The space itself is spacious and well-lit, providing ample room for artists to work comfortably. The atmosphere was both professional and welcoming, which made it easy to focus and be inspired. The session was well-organized, starting with short warm-up poses and gradually moving to longer, more detailed ones. The models were professional, maintaining interesting and challenging poses that pushed my creative boundaries. They were also very approachable and open to feedback, enhancing the overall experience. The facilitators were knowledgeable and offered constructive critiques without being overbearing. It was clear they were passionate about art and dedicated to helping artists grow. What stood out to me was the sense of community. Artists of all levels attended, from beginners to professionals, creating a diverse and supportive environment. We were encouraged to share our work and techniques, fostering a collaborative spirit. Additionally, the studio provided quality materials, which was a nice touch for those who might not have brought their own. The refreshments and comfortable seating added to the overall positive experience. In summary, HM is a fantastic place for any artist looking to improve their figure drawing skills. The professional yet friendly environment, skilled models, and supportive community make it a top choice. I highly recommend it and look forward to my next session there."

"Absolutely loved Happy medium for a chill artsy night with a friend! The atmosphere is lovely and definetly inspired us to make some art. I liked the collection of magazines and books for making collages. I have also come along and noticed that it took a little longer to put in my order, but the staff were all very kind. I would love to come again!"

"Super cute place! We booked our tickets online for the hand building pottery class and had a great time. The instructor goes over everything you should know and technique. I really liked how the staff came around to help or anything that we needed. Highly recommend as a solo, first, or girl friends catch up or even just as an activity to try."

"When I think of a happy medium, I envision an oasis to escape from city life and immerse myself in a realm of calmness and creativity. The atmosphere exudes an artistic vibe, which drew me in for a figure drawing class. While it might not suit everyone's tastes, it proved invaluable for me as a creative person navigating through a block. Witnessing people engrossed in their own creative pursuits was inspiring, and the staff were both professional and laid-back. Arriving early, I was warmly welcomed by friendly faces. I would definitely return here; whether alone, as I did, or with friends and colleagues, the experience was truly worth it."

"This place was super cute. It’s a large sunny art studio. We got served an ad and booked a reservation for a Sunday afternoon. Everything was easy - booking, checking in, getting started and paying. However I wish the service was more helpful. If you’ve never been to pottery and are just handed a block of clay w tools, there is a lot of room for inspiration. Direction on how to use the tools, when to apply water and tips for how to work with the clay when you have long nails all would have been helpful. Then on check out, would have been helpful on how to store it, what kind of paint to use if you wanted to paint it after the 48 hour waiting period, even an upsell to buy paint would have been cool. Idk, I was expecting more inspiration, instruction or tips as a first timer but maybe I was over zealous. The studio downstairs seemed to have way more inspiration w pieces drying and just more vibrant w pottery colors. It was nice to try but I’m not sure I would go back. Thank you for having us!"
