Art classes for kids
Small groups, real materials, and a studio where children are trusted to make something of their own. Our youngest artists work in painting, drawing, ceramics, and the culinary studio, building genuine skill alongside the confidence to use it.

Real materials, real technique
Kids work with the same clay, paint, and tools our older students use. Nothing is watered down. It is scaled to what a five to ten year old can handle, with an instructor close by.
Six to twelve per class
Small enough that Donna and her instructors know every child by name, and know what each one is working toward.
Something to take home
Every session ends with work that is theirs. Ceramics come back from the kiln in one to two weeks, ready to collect.
Work that goes home
Real pieces made by children in our classes. Ceramics come back from the kiln in one to two weeks.




Upcoming classes for ages 5–10

About this Program

Four Tuesdays: November 10, 17, 24 and December 1.
A little of everything, one week at a time. Children cook, work with clay, paint, and draw, so by the end they have tried every corner of the studio and usually found the one they love.
In the kitchen they measure, mix, and cook something to bring home. In the ceramics studio they build with clay by hand. In the art room they mix color, learn how to handle a brush, and work on line, shape, and composition.
Real materials, real tools, and a small group. Ages 8 to 10. Everything is included.
About this Program

Four Mondays Nov 16, 23, 30, Dec 7,
Our youngest makers spend a week in each part of the studio. They bake, they build with clay, they paint, and they draw, and they go home with something of their own every single week.
In the kitchen they measure, stir, and learn their way around real tools. In ceramics they roll, pinch, and press clay into shape. In the art room they find out what happens when two colors meet, and how to make a brush do what they want.
Small hands, real materials, and a good amount of mess. Ages 5 to 7. Everything is included.
