Lithuanian roots, open to all

“Siela” means “soul” in Lithuanian. That idea shapes how students learn here. Teachers show real methods, encourage close attention, and leave room for personal choices. Children and adults work with drawing, painting, clay, and mixed media while building skill, patience, and confidence over time.

Skill grows through patient practice

Some pieces are finished in one visit. Others take several weeks. Students learn how to use materials, plan a piece, revise it, and carry it through to completion. New students receive help. Returning students can take on more detailed work.

Different Media

Drawing, painting, clay, and mixed media throughout the year.

Small groups

Enough teacher time for questions, method, and feedback.

Progress over time

Students can see changes in technique, patience, and finished work.

Guided by artists who pay attention

Founded and led by artist Asta Zimkus, our program’s teachers explain methods, identify where each student needs help, and give useful feedback without taking over a student’s idea.
