Teens and older students

Four Wednesdays: September 16, 23, 30 and October 7.

A real studio to work in, with someone to ask. Students choose their own direction in drawing, painting, or mixed media and use the time to go deeper rather than start something new each week.

Demonstrations and mini lessons happen as needed. Most of the session is quiet working time, with individual feedback from the instructor on whatever is in front of you.

Good for building portfolio pieces, preparing for advanced art courses, or simply having a place to make work alongside other people doing the same. Grades 9 to 12. Materials included.

Four Thursdays: September 17, 24, October 1 and 8.

Studio time with a teacher nearby. Students work in drawing, painting, or mixed media at their own pace and build up a body of work instead of finishing a different project every week.

Each session opens with a short demonstration or mini lesson, and the rest of the time is theirs. The instructor moves around the room, giving feedback one student at a time on technique, color, and composition.

Best for students who like working on their own and want their skills to catch up with their ideas. Ages 11 to 14. Materials included.

Up to 10 children, an hour and a half in the clay studio. Pick one of four:

• Axolotl. Build your own clay axolotl and paint it whatever colors you like. Home the same day.
• Ice cream. Build an ice cream box, cover it in sprinkles, and paint it mint chocolate chip or your own favorite flavor. Home the same day.
• Dragon. Sculpt a dragon with scales and fire, then paint it in sparkly metallics. Home the same day.
• Paint your own pottery. Monster canisters, always a hit. Ready for pickup a week later.

This party uses the ceramics studio and does not include the party room, though you are welcome to bring drinks in with you. Parties are non refundable.
