AFTER SCHOOL program
We all need a break from instruction from time to time. Let your kids be the boss! Their imagination comes alive with exciting reuse materials, and time and space to explore. Your child enjoys a moment to catch up on homework, a hands-on group activity, some practical tool and technique instructions, and then self-directed but guided art time. Emphasis on learning and process, with long-term finished pieces to take home.

Leaves are falling, nourishing and mulching the soil, providing habitat for creatures living on the ground and in the soil. Let’s look closely at the variety of different types of leaves. We will explore the leaves making prints, rubbings, stencils and paintings.
