Artworks

Instructor: Sam Sinanan

In this class, students learn about and apply the elements and principles of art and explore a variety of art media and techniques including painting with acrylics and watercolors, drawing with pastels, and sculpting with clay. We will also explore combining different media into one work of art. Designed for both new and returning students of different ages and abilities, each session offers new projects, often with a seasonal theme and no previous experience is necessary. Class fee includes all child-friendly materials and kiln-firing.

Polite Kids 101

Instructor: Sam Sinanan

Would a manners class help your child stay on track with kind and respectful behavior? This class covers how to: introduce yourself and others, interrupt politely, and set informal and formal table settings. We'll also talk about table manners, being a guest in someone’s home, and behaving appropriately at home and at parties. All participants will receive a Polite Kids 101 handbook. To allow your child to practice some of what they learn, a light snack will be served, so please let us know of any food allergies. Feel free to bring a healthy beverage and an additional nut-free snack.
