This class series runs over 2 consecutive sessions, which are 1 week apart.
I bought an airbrush years ago and it's been sitting in a box. Is this course for me?
Yes. This course is designed to take you from "intimidated" to "confident" in two sessions. We'll simplify the tool, teach you proper maintenance, and show you exactly how to mix paint so it flows smoothly. You'll finally get that airbrush out of the box and working.
I have zero experience. Will I be able to keep up?
Absolutely. We start from the absolute beginning and keep groups small so you get plenty of one-on-one attention.
What do I need to bring?
A snap-built kit from your backlog (any kit assembled without paint) and your preferred acrylic paints (Vallejo, Tamiya, or Mr. Hobby are great). We provide everything else: airbrush, compressor, spray booth, cleaning supplies, primer, top coat, and all practice materials. We also have paints if you don't have you own to use during the course.
I don't have a kit. Can I still take the class?
Yes. We can recommend a beginner-friendly kit for purchase online, or you can buy one from Bandai Namco or Book Off @ Industry City just blocks away.
How much individual attention will I get?
Class sizes are limited to just 4 students per cohort. That means you'll have the instructor's attention when you need it, and you won't be waiting around for your turn at the booth.
What if I'm worried about ruining my kit?
That's exactly why we start on plastic spoons. You'll make all your mistakes there, with no risk to your project. By the time you pick up your kit, you'll have the muscle memory to do it right.
What if I clog my airbrush or make a mistake?
Clogs and mistakes are part of the learning process. We'll show you how to diagnose and fix them quickly. This course is about removing the fear, not just the technique.
What will I walk away with?
A fully painted and assembled model, a professional photo of your build, the confidence to use your airbrush independently, and a "Graduate" discount on future studio rentals.
The price feels a bit high. Why is it worth it?
For $150, you get over 5 hours of professional instruction, use of thousands of dollars worth of studio equipment, all materials, and the guidance of an expert. Compare that to buying your own compressor, airbrush, paints, and supplies—and still not knowing how to use them. This course saves you money in the long run and saves you from a lot of frustration.
I'm busy. Can I miss a session?
We understand life happens. We offer one free reschedule for any session with at least 48 hours' notice. After that, we can work with you to find a solution.
What if I want to keep learning after the course?
Graduates receive a discount on future studio rentals and can move on to our advanced classes. We're here to support your hobby journey, not just sell you a class.
Is this Airbrushing 101 Course just for modelers?
Absolutely not. This course can be applied to a wide range of airbrushing applications from canvas painting, cake decorations, body and makeup, automotive, home projects, cosplay, t-shirt customs, and much more. We encourage you to bring in a sample during your 2nd session in order to get you used to painting your subject.
