Ages 5-7 Spring into Play: A Nature-Inspired Art Workshop 🌿

Join us for a morning of creative discovery where the process is the prize! Designed for ages 5–7, this free workshop invites artists to explore the wonders of spring through a play-based, Reggio-inspired lens.

Led by a Master’s-level art educator, this session is about letting curiosity lead the way. Rather than following a step-by-step tutorial, children will be presented with "invitations to create" using a curated selection of natural materials, vibrant paints, and tactile textures.

In this studio, we value the doing over the done. Please note: your child might not come home with a "museum-worthy" masterpiece or a finished portrait to hang on the fridge.

Instead, they will come home with:

  • The thrill of discovery 

  • Creative problem-solving skills built through trial and error.

  • The confidence that comes from having total agency over their work.

We celebrate the messy, the experimental, and the "in-progress." Our goal is to nurture a love for creation that lasts long after the paint dries.

Ages: 5 years - 7 years

Open Studio Memberships

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

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. 🎨✨
