Customer Testimonials:

Such a Good Experience

My teen had such a good experience here! She got to use a variety of mediums in her classes—oil, watercolor and 3D materials! She had a great time and has been asking to take another camp. Thanks Cordovan!

Stephanie Fisher, Parent

Love the Instructors

My 3 kids have taken multiple classes and camps with Cordovan at Georgetown. It’s a great location and we’ve specifically loved the instructors. The kids often admire their art school class creations and feel proud of their work!

Lindsey Wilcox, Parent

Peaceful & Educational Camp

My daughter did the fantasy art summer camp this year at the Georgetown studio. She learned a lot and came home very happy and proud of her work. Camp was peaceful and educational. We will definitely do camp again next year, highly recommend.

Founded in 2009, Franchising Launched 2025

Artist & entrepreneur John Howell has grown Cordovan from a single studio in Round Rock, TX, into nine thriving locations.

Motivated by the outdated notion of the “starving artist” stereotype, he set out to build a business that helps creative entrepreneurs turn a passion for art into prosperous careers.
