Kids can be fashion designers too! You may not know how to sew or create patterns yet, but you are an artist who can dream of the next NEW styles the world will wear! In this class, we use wooden forms of the figure to create outfits, and share with other students while we blast music and walk them down the runway! Your designs are removable so you can create as many as you would like for weeks! How fun is it to see young desingers peruse tables full of cloth remnants, ribbon, beads, feathers, leather, yarn, and carry it back to their workstation ready to create!? We discuss patterns, and plan out designs using graphite and watercolors. We use tacky glue, hot-glueand at times, needle & thread. This is a very fun, open-studio class in which each student can work independently. Also,...remember! Fashion Design is not ONLY FOR GIRLS! Fashion is a serious, and competitive art form, and we have incredible creations from ALL of our artists! At the end of each class, we turn up the music, do our power walks around the studio, and give each compliments on our favorites! If you are looking for an incredibly fun art class, YOU FOUND IT!

Making art is all about playing. Artists have to experiment with materials and mark-making before they find their style.Many of us can recognize a Picasso, a van Gogh, or a Frida Kahlo very quickly, but what makes those Works so recognizable? This 4 day workshop will give you the chance to play with many different techniques and materials without pressure. This is a chance to simply see what they do. Which ones look cool, and which ones are not for you. No experiences needed for this class except a wonderful curiosity and appreciation for the arts! Please join us and take home 4 finished artworks for your landscape!
This class gives students studio time after instruction to develop their skills.

Who does not LOVE creating funny faces with their drawing!? Changing the eyes, noses, clothes and hair can yield a new character every time! Not only will students learn to sketch parts of the human face, adding emotion and hilarity, but we will look at many styles of cartooning and animation. Manga, The Ghibli Anime studios, Looney tunes, Hannah Barbara, or classics like Popeye, Spiderman, and the Flintstones all strike a chord with comic lovers of every age.
We will work in pencil, pen, ink, watercolor, colored pencil, and possibly your tablet! We will also talk about stereotyping. The same tool that we use to create cartoon characters can also be hurtful in our daily life, so it is important to create with care. This class is SO fun, and I am excited to see students' work! Please join us!
