Creation Station is a fun and welcoming art program designed for elementary-aged students to explore their creativity through hands-on projects. Each week features a new theme and medium—ranging from painting and drawing to sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media.. Students receive step-by-step guidance while being encouraged to make choices that personalize their artwork, helping them build skills, confidence, and creative problem-solving. This class is perfect for kids who love experimenting with different materials and want to grow their artistic voice in a supportive environment. Mini Makers is a playful, hands-on art class designed especially for our youngest artists. Each session introduces a new theme with age-appropriate activities that encourage exploration, creativity, and confidence-building in a supportive environment. Projects are process-focused and help strengthen fine motor skills, early problem-solving, and self-expression—while still being fun, flexible, and engaging for little hands. Mini Makers is a parent-led class. This means parents are expected to stay in the classroom during the program to work with their young artists.
