Art supplies are everywhere we look.
Especially when visiting the coast or walking in the woods.
Karen has been collecting shells, sand dollars & drift wood since last summer. Karen is SO EXCITED to teach the kids this new nature art course where each day we will be using items from nature enhanced with other reclaimed materials along side paint, ink, glue & resins and more to make our art creations. We even have a beaver collaboration project.
This course will definitely refine your child's fine motor skilz while letting their imagination lead the way to fun creations.
As with most of Karen’s art classes, it's suggested that "play clothes" are worn each day so the paints, inks and glues don't ruin anyone's favorite outfit or shoes.
They will leave this week of fun art understanding that art materials are everywhere you look in nature.

This annual mixed media art class is all about COLOR and FUN. It's an opportunity for your child to learn new skills, refine their existing motor skills, explore new mediums and relax into expressing their unique selves. We're also big on group planning, writing out the individual steps and following the "process" on achieving each unique art project.
We'll be using all kinds of mediums. Acrylic paint, water colors, inks, glue, resin, and whatever else we can conjure up for fun.
It pretty likely all the materials we'll be using will also permanently decorate your child's clothing so it's important to wear "play-clothes and shoes" each day so no ones favorite garment is ruined.
The class is best suited for ages 7 & above. 15 students is the absolute max for this intense, fun filled expression of colors.

Join D Valenzuela for a transformative 3-day course where you will explore the art of tile print carving on rubber. This hands-on workshop invites you to create your own stamp, which you will then use to make stunning radial prints.
Before diving into the stamping, participants will watercolor paint their paper, setting the stage for vibrant pops of color to complement the prints.
This project will challenge the students in a way that gets both of the sides of their brain firing when it comes to carving away the negative space of their stamp and then rotating the stamp to create their design.
At the end of the course, each participant will leave with their own colorful prints, their handmade stamp, and an ink pad—tools to inspire continued creativity beyond the classroom. Embrace the challenge and discover the joy of printmaking!
