Washington Studio School
📍 2129 S St NW, Washington, DCWashington Studio School has operated at its Dupont-adjacent address on S Street since the 1990s, teaching drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture to adults and teens in a working atelier environment. The curriculum is studio-intensive, meaning students spend the majority of class time making work rather than listening to lectures, and instructors critique in real time as pieces develop. Drop-in figure drawing sessions run several evenings a week and are open to anyone without registration, making the school a regular stop for artists across the city.
