Welcome! Bienvenue!
L’Ecole Des Beaux Arts
We offer paint, products and workshops for adults and children with a focus on quality and sustainability.
The shop is stocked with beautiful, practical, high quality items that are designed to be loved and used, as well as clothing meant to be worked in. Workshops are decided based on the need and want of the community. Materials used are chosen for their quality, durability, functionality and sustainability.
We launched our handmade watercolors in May of 2019. Each color is sourced for pure inspiration and pigment integrity, and we make the watercolors in our new store and studio in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Come visit! 717 Canyon Road, Unit C :)
Although there are many components to LDBA, the concept is simple:
WE PROVIDE TOOLS, TECHNIQUES AND MATERIALS TO ALLOW PEOPLE TO EXCEL IN THEIR MEDIUM.
Our Shop
We sell handmade watercolors, artist kits, supplies and clothing. All of the products in our shop are designed to be used and made well enough to last one or several lifetimes- some have already lasted a few :)
Some items offered are limited edition, one of a kind, or are made in small quantities and available for re-order.
Adult Workshops
L’Ecole Des Beaux Arts offers artistic and skill-based classes, workshops and camps taught by artists and tradespeople in the neighborhood and from around the world. Classes and workshops are carefully selected, organized monthly, and kept small for an optimal learning environment.
Children’s Education
Our approach to teaching focuses on fine art and hands on education for children. The materials used in classes are non toxic and natural, avoiding plastic and disposable materials. We teach respect of our materials, ourselves and others. Our reference materials come from books and editorials, and we stay away from the use of screens in class. We explore artists' work from galleries, museums and studios, and create projects based on what students learn. We are conscious educators, teaching information, techniques and wisdom passed down from a wealth of artists and creators- creating beauty through art and preserving wisdom and knowledge through education.
