Kid & Teen Art Classes

Kid & Teen art classes are designed and lead by local artists and seasoned art educators who bring a wealth of experience to the classroom. We enthusiastically share our craft and passion for art and creativity. Students will experiment with different media, develop new techniques, and be inspired by art and art history in a fun, energetic environment. We focus on quality and aim to inspire and guide the children to reach their creative and artistic potential. Check out our Student Work.

We consistently run fall semester and spring semester courses that focus on building artistic skills, from one semester to the next. Classes meet once per week. We never repeat projects, we teach different concepts, and we use a variety of materials each semester. We encourage students to continue in the same class if they are age appropriate in order to continue his or her artistic journey. If your child wishes to register for a class mid-session, call or email us to see if this is a possibility. We look forward to seeing you at the studio.
