Summer Arts and Crafts Classes





Due to popular demand, we will be offering summer art classes again this year. There will be 4 classes per month in June and July. We will also have classes in August but our schedule depends on when the kids go back to school. The regular class will be held every Thursday except July 8th. Class is from 1 pm to 5 pm. Limited to ten per class.

We have also had several requests for a boy-centric class. I am happy to offer that as well as long as three or more students sign up. This class will meet on Tuesdays from 1 pm to 5 pm. It is also limited to ten students.

This summer I am also offering individual classes - Get Your Kicks, a class on painting canvas shoes, and Sewing Machine Basics I and II. These classes consist of one 4 hour class as opposed to the regular monthly classes listed above. These are limited to four students each. If there is a demand for a second class, however, I will offer it again. Suggested age is 8 and up for both of these.



Everywhere we go my daughter and I get lots of compliments on our hand-drawn shoes. Kaitlin has even had friends hire her to make them a pair. You’ll bring a blank pair of shoes with you and you’ll leave with a set of sketches, art pens, and a wearable work of art!


We will also supplement with other smaller crafts for those students who finish their projects faster than others. That way no one feels rushed yet everyone has something to do.

Depending on the project there may be simple homework projects. These are always things that can be caught up in the next class if need be, though.

Regular class fees are $115 for each student per month payable the first class of each month. If your child would like to bring a friend or cousin one week we also offer drop-in classes for that situation. Just let me know by the Monday preceding that class day so that I can make sure I have everything ready. Drop in classes are $30 each and payable that day. All art supplies are included. You might want to provide an apron or old t-shirt to protect your child’s clothes.

Sewing Machine Basics I and II are $35. You must have taken Basics I in order to take Basics II. You will be required to bring your own sewing machine and 1 yard of desired fabric. Finished project will depend on age and skill level achieved.

Get Your Kicks will teach you how to prepare the shoes, what markers/pens to use (and what NOT to use!) and how to take care of them. We’ll also share sketches and patterns to fire up your imagination. A non-refundable $10 deposit is required two weeks before the class date so that we can place a wholesale order for your art pens. The fee for this class is $40 including the deposit.

Class fees are non-refundable.
