From the beginning of time, humans decorated their environment from adorning their homes to embellishing their clothing. We will learn about decorative arts and crafts from around the world and throughout history by looking at the work of famous artists, craftsmen and folk artists. Some projects that students can choose from are: weave a small rug or wall hanging, paint a tea set and cutting board; decoupage a tray or jewelry box; create ceramic vases and toys; decorate clothing for themselves or a doll. The possibility are endless.

 

 


  • Reduced tuition on youth classes requires a family membership. For a full-day program, a morning class may be combined with an afternoon class. Supervised "bridge" care is available for these students, between 12-1PM, for an additional $40 per week.
