Calling all artists, ages 4-18! Balance the school year with engaging creativity! Kids use a variety of media to sharpen
classical skills through whimsical projects. Fun meets focus with single-day and multi-day workshops for every budding young artist.
Students hone drawing, painting, and sculpting skills, and hand-craft keepsakes, holiday gifts, and other seasonal treasures. As fall
days get shorter, a variety of workshops keep the light of inspiration glowing. Enrollment opens in the Fall!
