Meet Carole
Carole Robb is an artist and maker working from her home studio in Hartford, Wisconsin. Her work blends old-world European decorative techniques with her own creative instincts, resulting in pieces that look collected rather than crafted.
The studio is also a teaching space. Carole hosts small workshops where participants learn hands-on techniques like gold leafing, antiquing, and mixed media composition. Most workshops are 2 to 3 hours and all materials are included.
More About the Studio"The workshop was the best afternoon I have had in years. Carole is patient, funny, and makes you feel like an artist even if you have never held a paintbrush."
