summer artventure classes are offered to ages 3-teens. classes are thoughtfully planned to fit the skill set for each age range. the age ranges for classes are designed to create comfortable learning environments for all students -not on a child’s artistic ability. no exceptions are made.
12+ teen classes are geared to ages 12 – 16. students age 16 and above, who are serious about art, are encouraged to consider registering for an adult studio class.
attire
children should wear clothing that is appropriate for making art, which is often messy. for safety, we require closed-toe shoes (no flipflops) for classes in photography, stained glass, and wood.
