Cork & Canvas, North East

What services does your business offer and what makes your business stand out from the competition?
Cork & Canvas is unique in the fact that we offer classes without guidelines of color or composition. Want to write something different on your canvas? Go for it! Want to make your landscape snowy instead of sunny? We'll help you do it. The sky is the limit at C&C!

Do you provide any materials? What should your students expect to bring?
Bring some wine, bring some glasses, and bring some friends! Also, wear some clothes you're not too worried about getting messy, or bring an apron!

What was the inspiration to start or run this business?
A few ladies came to me asking to do a custom painting class for them. They wanted something more abstract that they felt like they had freedom to do what they wanted, not what the teacher wanted. I was happy to oblige, and Cork & Canvas was born!

What do you love most about your job?
I LOVE that every painting that comes out of a class is completely different. I always tell my students "if I wanted a canvas that looked exactly like mine, I'd take a picture." Students leave with confidence, creativity, and a masterpiece that they're proud of.
