Winter Session #1

Class Description:

Join us for four weeks of winter-themed creativity! Kids will explore different materials—from paint to homemade clay to fibers—as they craft unique seasonal projects like snow globes, hanging decorations, and more. Each session brings a new project, sparking imagination and fun!

Each class is two hours and includes two projects: the main craft and a smaller warm up exercise.

For this session, I selected art projects related to general theme of winter, but depending on the children in each group, I am happy to adapt the projects to specific December holidays that they celebrate, if that is of interest. Also, the winter theme is shared across all age groups, so I have adapted the projects to meet the developmental level of each age group.

Age Groups:

5 years - 13 years (Currently sessions are private, small group classes, taught at the child’s home. Eventually I hope to rent space to host larger classes. When that happens, I will create age based groups. For now, I am happy to mix ages across groups of families/friends who would all be at the same house for the classes.)

 FAQs

  • Kids will create a variety of projects across categories such as paintings, sculpture, fiber arts, and more. I intentionally plan a variety of medium and types of art across the four week sessions.

  • Classes are two hours each, and there are four classes per session. When you sign up for a session, you will get a weekly two hour class over the course of a month.

    Classes are generally held on Mondays, Tuesdays, or Thursdays. See the schedule for specific dates and times.

  • I understand that things come up and plans change, especially with kids! I offer one make up class per session. There are four classes per session, so if you have to miss one class, your child will be able to join another class to make up the missed class.

  • If there are children who are in different age groups but prefer to be in the same art class, we can definitely arrange that. As a kid, I always liked being with my younger sisters at our art classes!

  • I design four week sessions to offer as a package, but if there is something specific you would like your child to learn, just let me know. I could design a future session to reflect those ideas. I am also available to teach private lessons on more formal art methods and practices to your child.
