Kids Art Classes
We offer art classes for ages 2-11
The classes here are organized by days of the week, Mondays first, Sunday last so you can easily find classes on a particular day. We do not prorate for missed classes.
All of our classes are process oriented, meaning we ultimately focus on the process rather than what the end product looks like. Some of our classes revolve around a medium, drawing, printmaking, ceramics or textiles and for little ones we offer themes such as Animals or Under the Sea or Fairylands. These classes explore the theme with a variety of materials. Our Process classes follow the seasons for making art. By engaging this way we encourage the children to see the possibilities in their environment outside of the walls of our studio.
We are very thoughtful with the age limits for our classes and work hard to create projects that are age appropriate. Please respect our age restrictions.
If your child is on the spectrum or has a learning challenge, please reach out to us to discuss whether we are a good fit before registering.
