We’ll make personalized t-shirts, lanterns, pinwheels, dolls, jewelry and more– with a finished project to take home after every class.

You can see the entire schedule of classes by clicking on “Art Classes” in the menu at the top of our Web page. Call us or email for more information and to register.

Coming this fall…
Beginning in September, we will offer an after-school series of art classes for children and teenagers. We’re also scheduling monthly Parent-Child Art Classes for mom and dad to take with the kids. Check our Web page for updates or join our email list, and we’ll send you a monthly schedule of activities.
