  • Does my child need art experience to join?

    No experience is required for most classes. Students are placed in age-appropriate classes where they can begin learning immediately.


    Some advanced classes require earlier levels to ensure students have the right foundation. If you're unsure where your child should start, we’re happy to help guide you.

  • What ages do you teach?

    We offer art classes for children ages 3–18, with age-appropriate instruction designed to grow with your child over time.

  • How big are the classes?

    We keep classes small so each student receives individual guidance.


    Typical class sizes:


    • Tiny Hands (ages 3–4) – up to 6 students

    • Introduction to Art (ages 5–6) – up to 10 students

    • Beginning Art (ages 7–8) – up to 12 students

    • Art 1 and higher – up to 12 students

  • How often do students attend class?

    Students attend one class per week on the same scheduled day and time.


    This consistent schedule helps students steadily build their artistic skills.

  • How long are the classes?

    Class length depends on age group:


    • Tiny Hands – 45 minutes

    • Introduction to Art – 1 hour

    • Beginning Art – 1 hour 15 minutes

    • Art 1 and higher – 1 hour 15 minutes

  • Can my child start during the school year?

    Yes. Students can join mid-year as long as a seat is available in the class.


    If a class is full, we’ll help you find the next available option.

  • Do parents stay during class?

    For our youngest students (Tiny Hands), some parents choose to stay, although it’s not required.


    For most other classes, parents typically drop off and return at the end of class.

  • What is the class schedule commitment?

    Classes follow a 9-month schedule that parallels the school calendar, or the remaining portion of the class if you join mid-year.

  • What happens if we miss a class?

    We understand that schedules change. If your child misses a class, please contact the studio to arrange a make-up class within the same week, depending on availability.

  • How do payments work?

    Tuition is billed monthly and processed automatically on the first of each month after your initial registration.

  • Can we switch class days?

    Yes. If space is available, we’re happy to move your child to another class day that better fits your schedule.

  • What if we need to cancel?

    If your child needs to stop attending, we require 30 days notice so we have time to offer the spot to another student.


    Registration and art supply fees are non-refundable once classes have begun.

  • What will my child actually learn?

    Students learn a wide variety of artistic techniques including:


    • drawing

    • painting

    • watercolor

    • clay and pottery

    • design and composition

    • art styles and art history


    Over time, students build real artistic skill and develop a growing portfolio of their work.

  • How do I know if this is the right class for my child?

    The best way to find out is to talk with the studio.


    We’ll learn a little about your child, their interests, and their age, and help recommend the best class to begin their artistic journey.
