Open Studio-Ages 5-7

February Open Studio - Ages 5-7

This play-based open studio art class is designed especially for children ages 5–7 who learn best through exploration, imagination, and hands-on discovery. In this class, young artists are invited to create freely using a variety of art materials through open-ended prompts and playful invitations rather than step-by-step projects.

Children may choose how they want to work—drawing, painting, building, cutting, gluing, or experimenting with materials—while the instructor gently guides the experience, models techniques, and supports creative problem-solving. The focus is on the process of creating, not the final product, helping children build confidence, independence, and joy in artmaking.

Activities are thoughtfully designed to support fine motor development, early decision-making skills, and creative expression in a calm, welcoming studio environment. All materials are provided, and each session offers new materials or ideas so that every class feels fresh and exciting.

This class is a great fit for children who:

  • Enjoy imaginative, hands-on play

  • Like exploring art materials at their own pace

  • Benefit from gentle structure and guidance

  • Are building confidence as young creators

Expect joyful exploration, meaningful mess-making, and lots of proud “I made this!” moments 🎨

Open Studio- Ages 8-11

February Open Studio - Ages 8-11

This open studio art class is designed for artists ages 8–11 who are ready to explore materials, ideas, and techniques with growing independence. Students work in a play-based, choice-driven studio environment where creativity is guided by curiosity rather than step-by-step instructions.

Each session offers a range of materials and creative prompts that invite experimentation, problem-solving, and personal expression. Students are encouraged to follow their own ideas, take creative risks, and revise their work as they go. The instructor acts as a facilitator—introducing techniques, asking thoughtful questions, and supporting students as they develop their artistic voice.

The focus is on artistic process rather than a polished final product, helping students build confidence, persistence, and creative thinking skills. Activities are designed to challenge students at multiple levels, making this class welcoming for both developing and more experienced young artists.

This class is ideal for students who:

  • Enjoy creative freedom and making independent choices

  • Like experimenting with materials and techniques

  • Are curious, imaginative, and open to trying new ideas

  • Want a relaxed, supportive space to create

Each class offers new materials or provocations, ensuring that students stay engaged, inspired, and excited to return to the studio. 🎨✨
