Renee Johnson's beloved watercolor doodling series is back! Join us on Zoom starting on Sunday, March 22. 🎨 https://www.creatorschoolca.com/spring-watercolor-series
At the Creator School, teenagers explore their artistic passions and unlock their creative and intellectual potential. We begin with our writing instructors.
We hire only the best: passionate, skilled teachers with a proven record who practice the art they teach. Our students are eager to express themselves – to learn and grow in rigorous, playful, grade-free environment. Our camps are deliberately small, so each student gets personal attention and is a valued voice in our creative community.
