Summer is a good time to take that art class that you have wanted to try. The adult classes are for students ages 15 and up. Kids’ classes are for ages 9-16.

A phone call will not confirm your place in a class, you must make a 50% deposit at the time of registration. I am sorry if this inconveniences you in any way. Too often, students will change their mind and the class has openings on the day of the workshop and it is too late to find a student to take your place. This places a hardship on the instructor and sometimes delays the class.

Thanks for your cooperation.
