Register for the Art Pilot
Our goal is to begin no later than the week of October 5th, running as a shorter founding pilot through mid-December, a first taste of the community and cadence before committing to a full semester. Once we reach our founding enrollment, we'll confirm your exact start date and location together. Tuition covers all consumable art supplies and instruction, nothing else to buy. Choose your section below, fill in a few details, and reserve your seat. And if this isn't your year to enroll, we'd still love to have you at Info Night, and we'd be grateful if you'd pass this along to anyone else who might be excited about what we're building.
Come to Info Night instead.
Curious about our mission, even if this isn't your year to enroll? Join us Thursday, September 17 from 6:00 to 7:30 PM to learn what we're building. It's also a great chance for students and families to meet one another and start building community before classes begin. Can't make it that evening? Register anyway, and we'll add you to our list so you don't miss follow-up details and future announcements. Free to attend, registration required.
Reserve a Seat on Eventbrite →Hi, I'm Teresa, the artist and instructor behind The Art Pilot. I hold an MFA in Printmaking & Intermedia, and this studio is personal to me: every class is built around real mentorship, not just projects to check off a list.
We'll work across painting, drawing, printmaking, collage and mixed media, with room to explore graphic design and even poetry as another way of seeing. Along the way, students and adults alike will have chances to submit work to local Wimberley art shows and exhibits, and in the adult studio, I'll also walk you through the practical side of a creative life: pricing your work, building a portfolio, and showing publicly with confidence.
Whether you're a homeschooler building a body of work, an afterschooler discovering a new outlet, or an adult finally circling back to something you set aside years ago, I want to know your work, encourage your growth, and help you find your own artistic voice. I can't wait to create alongside you this fall.
I am a born-again Christian who can look back across every chapter of my life and see, without doubt, that God has been equipping me for this work: the MFA He gave me, the years of preparation He placed in my path, the love of beauty and truth He cultivated in me long before I knew what I would do with it. Training children for the glory and kingdom of God is not a curriculum checklist. It is a mission: the daily, faithful work of pointing young hearts toward Christ. This program exists for your children, for the children not yet born, for this Hill Country, and by God's grace, for His glory alone.

- What if a section doesn't reach minimum enrollment?
- If a section is cancelled, your deposit is fully refunded or credited toward another section, your choice.
