Where to get artistic in Bangkok

Painting, sculpture: Attic Studios

Oil painting, still life drawing, water colors and clay sculptures: Bangkok's Attic Studios has it all.

The studio is owned by longtime Bangkok expat Elsie Evans, a passionate Scottish artist who offers classes almost every day of the week and keeps her studio open for anyone who wants to hang out and paint.

Classes run from 9 a.m.-noon every weekday (1,200 baht for one session, 6,000 baht for six), and there's always something on the menu every weekend.

All you have to do is bring yourself -- canvases and paints are supplied by Evans for newcomers to the classes. Outside class time, artists can drop by anytime and work on their art, free of charge.

Pottery: Potteri Clay Workshop 

Potteri Clay Workshop is an open forum for those who, you guessed it, want to partake in clay pottery workshops.

Two methods of pottery are taught here: either using your hands to manipulate a ball of clay into whatever you desire (850 baht per session, 4,500 baht for five, 7,700 baht for 10), or the pottery wheel method -- think Demi Moore in "Ghost."

Classes are 950 baht per session, 4,800 baht for five, 8,640 baht for 10.  The workshop itself is very chill, with two drop-in sessions running from Tuesday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-noon and 1:30 p.m.-3:30 p.m.

Anyone who wants to drop in and work on their own stuff is welcome to do so, but call in advance to see if there's space available.
