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!

In these classes we will work on projects using a variety of different mediums, techniques and materials to make sure each week is fun and exciting! We may also explore themes and at times work on projects that require a couple of weeks to complete, building on the project in stages. Examples of this would be working with clay, art journaling, etc. This class gives children an opportunity to grow their art skills, discover their own unique style as an artist, and develop a greater love of art and creating, while also making friends and having fun in the process! These classes are for school aged children (ages 5-11), and will be held on Thursday nights from 4-6. This class is an ongoing class that meets weekly four times a month and is a drop off class. The cost is $100 per month. All supplies and materials are provided, as well as a snack. Please call ahead to determine availability or to register, or you can register on the website under the registration tab. Space is limited.

These classes will be designed for preschool aged children, and will be geared for children ages 3-5, but all ages are welcome! These classes will typically consist of either a "process based" art activity, or a "Story and Paint" class, which will be a spin off of an adult "Sip and Paint", where we will be reading a story and doing a painting or a project based on the story we read, while enjoying juice boxes and a snack. A seasonally inspired sensory bin may also be provided during these classes for exploration. 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 events will be designed with the busy toddler in mind, and will be geared for children ages 2-3. They will be similar to the preschool classes, but simplified even further for very small children, with activities that are even better suited to a younger age group and kept moving at a faster pace. 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 events will be offered periodically throughout the month on a Friday or Saturday evening. Parents can bring their child for a fun night of pizza, snacks, reading stories and creating a fun project, while they enjoy a well deserved night out! There are many great spots right around the corner from the studio, including Second Glass, Mariposa, Satellite Bar and Benny's Big Time Pizzeria! These events will usually run about 3 hours, and will vary each month. Check out our upcoming events list to see when the next Parents Night Out event is scheduled!

 For these events I will set up a variety of creative stations for children to explore that will give them a chance to experiment with different materials and mediums designed to ignite their creativity. I will be there to help, guide and encourage them, but ultimately the process and outcome will be up to them and their own imaginations!  Parents can stay if they would like, or if your child is school aged you can drop them off and take some time for yourself to walk around and explore theArtWorks gallery, gift shop and working artists studios while your child is having fun! These events will vary, but will mainly be held during the "Fourth Friday" Gallery Nights, which take place on the fourth Friday of each month. Fourth Friday nights feature open artists studios, a beer and wine bar, and live music... so not only will your child be having fun creating, but parents will get to enjoy a fun night out as well! View our upcoming classes and events list to see when the next Open Studio night is scheduled!
