Welocome to Hands On

With Deborah Landry

We have merged our websites into one creative hub at DeborahLandry.com to make booking your next artistic adventure easier than ever.

Instead of fitting your life into a rigid class schedule, you call the shots. Gather your friends, plan a unique date, or book a solo deep-dive into a new craft. Pick your medium, request your date, and let’s get messy!

Just bring your Curiosity

Studio Guidelines & Booking Sizes

To ensure everyone gets dedicated, personalized guidance, our studio relies on balanced class sizes:

  • Group Sizes: Standard workshops require a minimum of 3 participants and can host a maximum of 8 makers. (Exceptions can sometimes be made for unique situations—just ask!)
  • Teens & Adults: Our core classes are meticulously designed for teens and adult creators of any skill level.
  • Pre-Teens (Special Requests): We can build custom youth classes for younger artists. Note: pre-teen workshops require full parent support and attendance in the studio.

“The world is art and love—don’t judge it, explore to exhaustion.”

Art is at the absolute core of my being. I have always embraced the idea that art is a universal language that crosses all boundaries, cultures, and backgrounds to communicate without words. My work reflects a deep curiosity about both botanical nature and human nature, and you will often find that my own gardens provide the exact raw materials and inspiration I use in my studio—whether that is harvesting leaves for nature printing, sourcing fibers for papermaking, or gathering ideas for my multi-medium sculptures.

As a lifelong, multi-passionate artist, I choose not to limit myself to just one style or material. I create fine art, build intricate Journey Sculptures, paint, and design community-engaging public art installations. For me, the true magic happens when the act of creating becomes a collaborative experience.

Why I Teach

I opened the doors to my dedicated studio space because I want to demystify the creative process. Many people think they aren’t “artistic” simply because they haven’t found the right medium yet.

Whether you are a complete beginner holding a paintbrush for the first time, or a seasoned hobbyist looking to push your creative boundaries, my goal is to guide you step-by-step. I design my workshops to be entirely stress-free, experimental, and incredibly fun. When you step into my studio, you aren’t just taking a class—you are joining me in an artistic adventure. Let’s make something beautiful together!

We belive learning is never ending
