Abstract :As old as the history of humanity, art has been practiced in various places throughout the ages. The concept of art studio, which is generally associated with artistic activities, is also associated with many craft branches. Woodworking and carpentry, blacksmithing, pottery, carpet making, etc. professions are also practiced in studios. Art educators and students using art studios in education have had to leave these spaces during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. The transition to distance education after the pandemic has left the art studios empty. This abandonment undoubtedly caused transformations in their perceptions. The main subject of this research is the metaphors produced about the concept of art workshop in distance education. This research aims to reveal the metaphorical perspectives of higher education art educators and students about the concept of \'art studio\' in distance education. Metaphor analysis, one of the qualitative research methods, was used in conducting this research. It is seen that art educators and students created a total of 27 types of metaphors under seven categories for the concept of art studio. The metaphors that the participants stated the most were listed as house, life, kitchen, factory, and pal. It can be suggested that similar studies can be conducted with younger age groups of students studying at different educational levels.
