Workshops

These one day events will offer a variety of projects using different techniques and materials to help children build a foundation and appreciation for art and creating, and most importantly, have fun! Children will have an opportunity to explore their creative expression and leave with a finished product they will be proud of. Each week will vary, so make sure to check back to see what workshops we have coming up!

after school classes

In these classes we will work on projects that may require a little more time to complete than a one day workshop. This gives children an opportunity to build further on their skills and develop a greater love of art and creating, while also making friends and having fun in the process! These classes will be offered in 6 week sessions for 1.5 hours, one night per week. Schedule and dates to be determined.

home school classes

These classes will be offered during the week for children who do not attend a traditional school setting to provide an opportunity for a fun social outing, while also giving children a chance to explore their creative expression. This will be a drop off class, which will give parents some much needed time for themselves, and children some time to be creative, get messy, and have fun with friends!

Prechool classes

These classes will be designed for preschool aged children, and will be geared for children ages 3-5. Children will be provided opportunities to create, explore and get messy... and the best part is, you can leave the clean up to me! These classes will also vary, so make sure to check back to see what classes are coming up! A caregiver is required to stay during this class.

toddler time

These events will be designed with the busy toddler in mind, and will be geared for children ages 2-3.
