Pro Tips

  1. 1.Contact the studio in advance via phone or in person as English may be limited. Consider using a translation app or bringing a Spanish-speaking friend to help communicate class schedules and workshop options.
  2. 2.The studio is in a residential neighborhood, so plan to use a taxi or rideshare app like Uber rather than relying on finding street parking.
  3. 3.Ask about drop-in workshops (talleres) versus ongoing classes. Visiting families often have better luck with single-session workshops that don't require long-term commitment.
  4. 4.Bring an apron or clothes that can get messy. Art supplies are typically provided, but having protective clothing gives kids freedom to create without worry.
  5. 5.The studio often features exhibitions of student work and local artists. Time your visit to coincide with an opening if possible for a fuller cultural experience.

Best Time to Visit

Weekday afternoons (Tuesday through Thursday) between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM tend to be less crowded than weekends. Saturday mornings are popular with local families, so visit then if you want your kids to interact more with Uruguayan children, or avoid it if you prefer a quieter experience.

What to Know

Class fees vary by workshop type and duration, so inquire about pricing for single sessions versus multi-week courses. The studio is closed Sundays. Limited English may be spoken, so basic Spanish phrases or a translation app will be helpful for communication.

Seasonal Notes

Open year-round with consistent hours Monday through Saturday. Check ahead for any holiday closures during major Uruguayan holidays like Carnaval (February/March) or Christmas/New Year weeks when schedules may vary.
