About Melbourne Studio of Art
Melbourne Studio of Art is a community-focused art studio located in Elsternwick, Victoria. The studio offers a range of hands-on workshops and term programs designed for beginners, returning artists, young people and serious hobbyists. Instruction is led by Melbourne artist Pilar de la Torre in classes that emphasize technique, observation and creative development.
Class offerings include full-day workshops such as Introduction to Oil Painting and targeted short courses like Introduction to Drawing. The studio also runs recurring programs including Young Artists classes, an Open Studio for young adults aged 14 and up, and speciality sessions such as Date Night evenings and sculpture-focused workshops.
