Rain, shine, or powder day, Stumptown Art Studio is one of downtown Whitefish’s most reliably enjoyable experiences. This welcoming community art studio offers walk-in classes in pottery, glass fusing, mosaic, and painting — accessible to complete beginners and satisfying for those with more experience. No appointment required for most sessions, making it an easy spontaneous addition to any day in town.

The studio has a warm, creative energy and genuinely knowledgeable instructors who make the learning process fun rather than intimidating. It’s equally popular with families looking for a rainy-day activity, couples wanting a creative date night, and solo visitors who want to make something with their hands. The pieces you create get fired and can be shipped home — a more personal keepsake than anything you’ll find in a gift shop.
