Ages 6 – 9, Class Time 4:30 – 5:30
The fee is $40 for the 4 one-hour classes and $10 for each session – It includes all supplies; pay when you arrive.
Projects often overlap, so it is important to attend all four classes.
In Feb., the first 2 classes on the 6th & 13th have an overlapping project, and it is important to attend both.
Feb. 20 & 27 classes can be taken individually as they will not have overlapping projects.
You do not have to stay with your child during class, but you certainly may if you like.
We have other areas you may enjoy while in the building, including the gallery and Art Cart. We do like to take pictures and post them on our FB page. Please inform us if this is a problem.
