Study Buddies is perfect for homeschool families seeking community, structure, and academic encouragement without sacrificing flexibility. If you're looking for a focused, social, and supportive learning environment, we’d love to welcome your student!

We're in the final stages of confirming our official location for the upcoming school year. Currently, we operate through our memberships with The Studio Downtown Conway and the McGhee Community Center, where we've been proudly hosting sessions. As we plan ahead, we're working to secure a more permanent home—our goal is to host future programs on the Hendrix College campus, with the UCA campus also under consideration.

Our vision for Study Buddies is to create a welcoming, consistent space outside of home where students can learn, engage, and build strong social connections with their peers in a structured, supportive environment.

Paint & Sip: Pet Portrait Class
Get you ticket here! 

Join me for a watercolor class where you'll learn how to paint your beloved pet! I'll guide you though the painting process while sharing my favorite watercolor techniques. All supplies will be provided, so no need to bring anything. You will leave class with a completed watercolor painting of your pet. This class is beginner friendly and open to all skill levels.

This is a paint and sip class. Wine, coffee, tea, and cookies from Julie's Sweet Shoppe & Bakery will be provided.

Once you sign up for this class, please send a photo of your pet to hello@kristinlmurphy.com. I'll size your photo to fit onto your watercolor paper and have it ready to go for class.

We are so excited to announce that Conway is starting a chapter of Silent Book Club!! Follow us on Instagram for updates each month!

What is Silent Book Club you may ask? At Silent Book Club, there’s no assigned reading. All readers are welcome—ebooks, audiobooks, textbooks, comic books... it’s BYOBook. The event is free and welcome to all. Friends and strangers gather at a set time and location, grab a coffee from a local shop beforehand, share what they’re reading, and settle in for an hour of silent, sustained reading. At the end of the hour, attendees can socialize—or not! 

If this sounds like your kind of night out, then follow our page and join us every Third Thursday of the month at The Studio Downtown!!

This class is for those who want to obtain their Arkansas Concealed Carry Permit.

Eye/ear protection and targets are provided for each student. Firearm rentals + ammunition can be provided for an additional fee at registration.
