Instructor: Laurie Ferrante
Fee: $160
In these fun-filled weekly workshops, children will explore their creativity through a variety of engaging art projects designed to introduce them to an exciting range of materials and techniques. Young artists will paint, sculpt, create papier-mâché, experiment with collage, and much more.
Our goal is to provide a supportive, encouraging environment where children feel free to explore new ideas, take creative risks, and express themselves through art. By the end of each three-day workshop, students can expect to bring home one or two completed works of art they’re proud to share.
Workshops are offered every week throughout the summer, with all-new projects each week, making it easy for children to return again and again for fresh creative experiences.
