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.

TODDLERS 'SIP AND PAINT' (Age 2-4 - Escorted by Caregiver) DROP-IN

FIRST FRIDAY OF THE MONTH FROM 10-11am TODDLER ‘SIP & PAINT’:

Join us from 10am-11am for our special “Toddler Sip & Paint” session every first Friday of the month, where our youngest Wee Hands artists can engage in a variety of artistic activities tailored to their growing minds. From painting and stamping to beading and clay modeling, toddlers will explore these mediums in a safe and nurturing environment designed specifically for their small hands and bodies. Caregivers participate alongside their little ones, enjoying a flexible art session that allows for breaks and sips from their cups, or even a cozy book exploration before returning to their creations. All art supplies are AP non-toxic, ensuring a safe experience, while we kindly request that food and snacks remain outside the studio to maintain a clean environment.

Sessions are priced at $20 per child, and while drop-ins are welcome, securing your spot online guarantees participation in this intimate class limited to 12 toddlers escorted by caregivers.

All art supplies are included.
