Building Creative Confidence at Every Age

We’ve carefully designed our classes to be age appropriate and adaptable, ensuring that all students are challenged according to their abilities. The key to making these age groups successful is our focus on open-ended projects and teaching techniques rather than overly contrived craft projects. By introducing new creative challenges with each series, we ensure that students remain engaged and can continue their artistic journey over multiple years. We hope you’ll join us!
