​FAQ

The Sky School of Art


If you would like more information, please email:
[email protected]


Q: Do I need to register for a full course, or can I try a class first?

 A: Yes—you can register for a single session in most programs.

Weekend Intensives (Chromatic Embodiment and Unblocking Perception) are designed as standalone experiences, so you may attend individual sessions.

For the 8-week Core Programs, space permitting, new students may join after an initial consultation depending on availability.

If you are unsure where to begin, feel free to email and I can help place you in the right program.​

I also teach workshops which can be in series or just sign up for one!



Q: Where is The Sky School of Art located?

A: The Sky School of Art is located in Montreal, QC, near Laurier metro.

The studio is on the 9th floor with open views of the sky and the surrounding city horizon.

For exact directions or access details, please email.



Q: What if I cannot attend a scheduled class?
A: For 8-week Core Programs, missed classes are not refundable or transferable.

If you notify in advance, I will do my best to offer a possible make-up option where space allows.

Weekend Intensives cannot be rescheduled or transferred due to limited capacity.



Q: How long are the classes?
A:  Core Programs run for 8 weeks with 2-hour weekly sessions.

Weekend Intensives are 3-hour sessions.

Private sessions (portfolio development and mentorship) are 1 hour.

​

Q:Can I join a course after the semester has already started?

A:Yes. If space is available, students may join a course after it has begun. However, please note that you will be entering an ongoing studio environment, and some material, demonstrations, or discussions may already have taken place. New participants are welcome to join at any point, but will need to take initiative in understanding what has been covered and integrating into the current flow of the class.

In cases of late registration, tuition may be adjusted at the discretion of the school depending on the number of sessions remaining.


Q: What do you teach at The Sky School of Art?
 A:The Core Programs are structured into three streams of study:
  • Technical Development (drawing and painting fundamentals)
  • Historical & Material Exploration
  • Expanded Seeing (a perceptual and embodied approach to image-making)

Weekend Intensives include:
  • Chromatic Embodiment Series (colour as lived perception)
  • Unblocking Perception (creative release and intuitive process)

Private sessions are available for portfolio development and long-term artistic mentorship.



Q: What materials are required?
A:   All core materials are provided for weekend workshops.

For 8-week courses, a basic materials list will be provided at registration depending on the specific class.

Students are welcome to bring their own sketchbooks if they wish to maintain a personal record of their work.



Q: What is the maximum class size?
A:  Class sizes are intentionally small:

Core Programs: maximum 8 students
Chromatic Embodiment: maximum 6 students
Unblocking Perception: maximum 4 students

This allows for focused instruction and individual attention.



Q: Are classes only for adults?
A: Yes. Core Programs and Weekend Intensives are designed for adults (18 +) at beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels.

Private portfolio development sessions are available for younger artists preparing applications to art school.



Q: Can I contact you directly?
A:  Yes.

For all inquiries, registration, or placement guidance:
[email protected]



Q: Parlez-vous français?
A: Oui. Je parle français, mais pas parfaitement.


Q:   In what language are the courses taught?
A: Courses are taught primarily in English, with support and explanations available in French when needed.
