Sharon Art Studio
The arts celebrate our differences, yet offer people of all ages and
backgrounds a way to share experiences and insights. Through the arts we explore the meaning of our lives as individuals and as members of our communities. By offering everyone access to art education and
appreciation, we build our sense of community.

Remembering Karen Koltonow (KK)
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Karen Koltonow, a beloved teacher and integral part of our community art studio for over 30 years. Known to most as KK, she was an empathetic and curious individual who always pushed boundaries and encouraged her students to do the same.

“My life is my art, my art is my life, and I live it every day and it goes beyond the clay.”

Pottery Pop Up on October 6
Multiple times a year the members of Sharon Art Studio host Pottery Pop Ups. We're grateful to our students and teachers for donating a variety of one of a kind ceramic pieces and sets at suggested donation levels ranging from $5-$100.
Over the past two years these events have raised over $10,000 for Friends of Sharon Art Studio. The money goes towards new classes, materials and equipment, and paying our wonderful teachers.
