CHILDREN’S ART CLASSES

AGES 2-12

Instruction is diversified to foster artistic growth in a fun atmosphere filled with discovery, connection, possibility, and celebration.

As a parent, you want after-school and summer care that is beyond the arts & crafts drop-in services that offer trivial activities to keep your kids entertained. You want an experience for your child that is fun and rewarding, but also has intrinsic educational value. You want them to enjoy the day but to also get something of value from it.

Our approach to lessons is to meet students where they are in their personal artistic journey, whether a beginner or a seasoned artist. A 5-year-old needs plenty of room to explore and discover art materials, while a 12-year old artist may need special help in developing their unique ideas to be imbued into a masterpiece.

2024 WINTER/SPRING COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH TODDLER ‘SIP & PAINT’:
On the first Friday of the month, our youngest Wee Hands artists can explore and experiment with various art mediums, tools, and techniques, such as painting, stamping, beading, glueing, and modeling with clay, etc, which are appropriate for their growing minds. In our “toddler safe space” caregivers and their wee one can work on an art activity that is prepared and set up especially for their small hands and bodies.. The art activity and space will be flexible so that toddlers can work on their art, stop for a rest and a sip from their cups or even explore a book with their adult before returning to the activity. Although all art supplies will be AP non-toxic, we request that all food and snacks be eaten outside the studio or left at home.Total cost of course is only $20 per session/per child. Limit 12 toddlers w/ caregiver. Drop-in’s allowed but enrolling online will guarantee your spot in the class.

All art supplies are included.

INTRO TO ART- PRE-SCHOOL WEE HANDS (Age 4-5 DROP OFF)
This class introduces budding artists to the world of visual art through art history,  literature, music, theatrics, and movement. Students will have the opportunity to experiment with various art mediums, tools, and techniques appropriate for their growing minds and bodies. Emphasis is placed on the joy of discovery, the process of creating in a fun environment, not on a final finished product. Caregivers are not allowed to stay during this class. Timid, shy youngsters who still need one on one adult companionship should attend the Toddler Sip and Paint sessions until they are comfortable with our Hands Create Studio space and instructors.
