We collaborate with students, age 4-18, to teach them beginner, intermediate, and advanced techniques in painting, drawing, watercolor, pastels, ceramics, and mixed media projects. We provide a fun environment where students can experiment, create and nurture a life-long love of art. All supplies and a pre-packaged snack are included. Classes are offered after school, during school breaks, and on some weekends. Give the gift of art with private party or giftcard to The Artist Outpost!
