RESERVE A SPOT! I’m so excited for Clay Literary Boxes starting next week! This is one of my all-time favorite projects — creative, meaningful, and always so fun to see come to life.

Students choose a favorite book and transform it into 3-dimension by designing and building a clay box that tells the story through images, symbols, and texture.

Class options:
• Tuesdays (April 21–May 19) | 3:30–5:00 | Ages 6+ (FULL)
• Wednesdays (April 22–May 20) | 4:30–6:00 | Ages 10+ ($175)
• Fridays (April 24–May 15) | 1:00–3:00 | Ages 6+ ($200)

If your child loves art, storytelling, or hands-on building, this class is a great fit!

To reserve a spot, send me a message through Messenger.

Story-time Art: Calling All Builders starts in just a couple of weeks for ages 5–9! 🛠️ We’ll be building, creating, and bringing stories to life through hands-on art—such a fun class for imaginative kids! There are 3 spots left on Wednesdays and 3 on Fridays. Message me if you’d like to grab a spot!

After finishing their linoleum prints, the Teen Printmaking class tried their hand at Gelli printing! Using acrylic paint or Speedball printing ink, the students rolled templates and texture pads onto gel plates, building their designs in colorful layers before printing them onto paper.

This process is all about layering—similar to screen printing, but much more fluid and experimental. The students loved seeing how each layer changed the print, and every piece came out completely unique. Lots of creativity and happy surprises! ✨

Students in the Artists Workshop Printmaking section explored reductive carving using linoleum cutters and Speedball Speedy-Carve blocks. We looked at the work of Edvard Munch and Pablo Picasso to see how artists use printmaking to create bold images and repeat designs.

Students learned how to safely carve their blocks, plan their designs, and transfer their images through the printing process. They really enjoyed the hands-on experience and came up with some creative and thoughtful designs. It was exciting to see their ideas come to life in print! #
