Offering a variety of opportunities for older students to create art with their peers.  During the school year, we offer after-school classes in various art forms and evening workshops once a month specifically for this age group.  During the sumer months, we offer a dedicated week of summer camp for older kids, and some 1-day mini camps for ages 9-17.  Various adult workshops encourage students ages 16+ to attend, as well.  Not seeing what you want?  Private workshops can be booked for your tween or teen and a group of just 5 friends in the area that your child wants to explore.  In the past we have offered this age group opportunities to explore alcohol inks, watercolors, jewlery-making, wood-burning, needle felting, ceramics, crochet, leather, metal, hypertufa planters, charcoal, acrylics, and more! 

What is a tween/teen night?  We're glad you asked!  During the school year, tweens/teens (roughly grades 4-10) enjoy one specially crafted class per month (5:30-7:30 pm).  They come to work on a new project, hang out, and meet new friends while having a great art experience!  Every month is a different art material, and every month is a new experience.  ​Classes and materials are carefully selected based on their ability to be "user-friendly" and also offer a unique experience. The students of this class have experimented with alcohol inks, designed sneakers, used inks to color glass candy dishes, painted and planted ceramic succulent planters in macrame hangers, hand-formed clay gnomes from polymer clay, created 12" square ceramic tiles with raised words of gratitude, painted and framed images of pop icons in mixed media, collaged images of pets using magazines and antique books, and painted in layers using coffee as their medium just to name a few. Developed with older kids in mind, these classes allow them to learn, experiment, and trust their inner artistic voice.  Sharing their time with others while developing art and being creative allows them the opportunity to dream, create, and explore together.​ Doors open at 5:30.  Class runs until 7:30. Prices vary depending on the materials used.
