Clay for Young Artists
Ages 7-12
Dive into clay to explore handbuilding, sculpture, and texture as students create tiles, trays, and other projects using earthenware and air-dry clay. Along the way, they develop strong studio habits like focus, persistence, and careful craftsmanship while building foundational ceramic skills and experimenting with glazing and creative techniques
Clay Handbuilding
Ages 12+
This beginner-to-intermediate clay class guides teens and young adults in exploring handbuilding, slab construction, carving, and glazing to create tiles, trays, clocks, masks, and more. In a supportive studio environment, students develop strong studio habits like focus, self-direction, and independent work while learning techniques and bringing their own creative ideas to life.
Art & Design Lab
Ages 10-13
Art & Design Lab is a creative studio experience for students ages 10–13 who are ready to explore ideas and grow their artistic voice. In this open-studio style class, students work on individual and small-group projects while receiving guidance, feedback, and skill support from the instructor. Through drawing, design, and mixed-media exploration, young artists are encouraged to experiment, make creative choices, and develop confidence in their own visual style within a supportive and inspiring studio environment.
Studio Practice
Ages 14-16
An Independent Studio class designed for students who are ready to develop their own artistic voice while working on self-directed projects. Participants bring their own ideas and materials and receive guidance, feedback, and mentorship from a professional artist in a supportive studio environment. This is not a step-by-step instructional class — students should already have the skills, focus, and confidence to work independently on their artwork. The studio provides space for exploration, problem-solving, and thoughtful artistic growth while maintaining a self-motivated atmosphere.
