At Manchester Studios RVA, we bring master artist/instructors in Classical Realism from around the world to teach workshops in sculpting, painting, drawing, and anatomy. The methods of visual measuring used by the Old Masters to acheive accuracy are taught in a step by step fashion. By keeping workshops small, students of all levels, from beginner to advanced, can expand their skills and knowledge.
Located in the heart of Richmond, Virgina's Manchester Arts Community, our 2000 square foot studio has 16 foot ceilings, massive wooden beams, and banks of windows that stretch to the ceiling, flooding the space with natural light all day long.
