Welcome to Dirt Studio!
.
We are a home studio - filled with houseplants and supplies - based in West Hartford, Connecticut. We make fine art in many mediums, ceramics, and textiles. And sometimes we throw them all in the cauldron and see what happens. This is mainly the work of Alexandra (Alex) Whatton, but she is hugely influenced by her life partner and three young sons (whose work may sometimes pop-up).

Alex took art classes from birth until present because her mother is the Director of Artsplace in Cheshire, Connecticut. She was always in the corner of adult day-time classes or sitting alongside the older children, drawing as her mother taught her classes. She later attended Parsons to receive a degree in Fashion Design. She is currently the Secretary of the Board for the West Hartford Art League and takes pottery classes there, as well.
.
Alex spends the majority of her time thoughtfully raising her three children, managing their home, and also tries to squeeze in as much time in her studio, whenever she can...sometimes meaning a tiny lack of sleep. Dirt Studio is perfect during the very early morning hours or late evening quiet. The houseplants keep her company while she plays with paint and clay and fabrics and color...until everyone else wakes-up! Come adventure with us. And thanks for supporting small business, and local, living artists. We appreciate you!
