Drawing Room is a gallery and studio in Williamsburg where visitors drop in to work with clay, paint, and mixed media supplies. Instructors who are working artists lead hands-on workshops and seasonal cohorts that culminate in student showcases.
Wet clay, loose-leaf tea, and paint markers coexist at Drawing Room, a shoes-off studio that opened its Williamsburg location in May 2025. The space runs on a day-pass model: drop in, check out supplies from the Art Library (paper, canvas, paint, markers) or, if you've done a prior workshop, pull from the Clay Library and build something. Instructors are working artists: ceramicist Aubrey Aiese leads hands-on clay sessions; multidisciplinary artist Meiying Thai heads mixed media. Each season, a Cohort of 15–25 people moves through eight workshops together and closes with a student showcase and gallery hang. The logic underneath all of it is stubbornly simple: that making things in the company of other people is worth protecting as a daily habit, not a special occasion.
