CLASSES WE OFFER
ART CLASSES
Open to all abilities and all levels.
In this expressive art program, students discover art styles through the lives of famous artists as they express themselves interactively. Students learn through interactive slide show presentations and stories then create their own masterpieces emulating that artist’s style.
We incorporate the history of the artist’s life including any challenges which they overcame through their art. Classes are processed-based and developmentally appropriate.
Support staff are encouraged to join.
CLAY CLASSES
Open to all abilities and all levels.
This innovative program is led by an experienced artist and ceramicist, working with individuals to ignite their passion for creative expression through physical interaction with clay. Students create their own pieces that are then kiln fired, and glazed with colors of their choice.
Those attending come from all backgrounds, some with disabilities, others recovering from illness, or simply attending for the joy of working with the physical medium clay provides.
Support staff are encouraged to join.
