TUESDAY
Clay - Come have fun with clay! These classes will introduce children to the wonderful medium of clay. Varied and exciting projects in hand building, including animals, sculpture, containers, tiles and more will be undertaken.Both directed projects and experimentation will be supported and encouraged as each child's skill evolves. Pieces will be glazed and fired.
WEDNESDAY
Plein Air Painting - With the seasons changing, join us outside as we take our paints to nature and capture the beauty of local sites in Exeter. During each class, we will take short trips outside to paint what we see. Children will try their hands at painting landscapes, architecture and close-ups of garden plant-life. (No class May 16, early release day)
THURSDAY
Open Studio - This is just a fun time to creatively explore, whether it be free drawing, bookmaking, collage or mask making, you name it! We call these classes 'Open Studio' for they are a little bit of everything! 'Open' to whatever the children are in the mood to try!
FRIDAY
Drawing from Nature - As the weather gets warmer, children will explore the textures and patterns of the outside world. We will take frequent nature walks to find inspiration for our drawings and gather specimens for further exploration. Since nature is always changing, now is your chance to capture its beauty!
