Beacon Art Adventures offers after school and summer art classes to children ages 6 through 11, as well as classes for older kids 9-14. The goal of the program is to provide a fun, nurturing, and creative experience for your child, no matter what their age or skill level. They’ll learn new techniques, extend their understanding of art concepts, and build self-confidence, all while being encouraged to experiment, play, and express themselves freely. To view the student art gallery please go HERE.
Check back soon for info on April/May classes! Summer program info will be posted in late March.

Magnificent monsters, dangerous dragons, & serpentine sea creatures! We’ll use clay hand-building techniques such as pinch, coil, texture, and more to create unique ceramic art inspired by ancient mythical stories and fantastic tall tales. Creations can be either fun (sculpture) or functional (think dragon teapot!) Students will sign up for a glazing day/time and their pieces will be ready within a couple of weeks.

Handmade Holiday
