Teaching the world to draw since 1991! Welcome to a journey where art is not just a skill but a way of life! Since our founding in 1991, we have been dedicated to teaching practical art skills that empower individuals to express themselves, discover new talents, and gain confidence in their abilities. Our mission is to make art accessible to everyone and to nurture creativity in a supportive and inspiring environment.
We are looking forward to having a great experience with your children and you. Your children will learn new skills and build self-confidence as they create beautiful artwork and wonderful memories.

Cancelation/Transfer Policy
Transfers
Transfers to another camp or date must be requested at least two weeks in advance. If space is available, we’re happy to make the change at no extra cost.
Student Expectations
The students are expected to be respectful of all teachers, students, and artwork at all times. They will be encouraged to work quietly on their projects in order to access the right side of their brain (the side used for drawing.) As well, students are expected to clean up and put away all their supplies promptly at the end of each class. Seating arrangements may be changed during the camp in order for students to meet others in their class and for inspirational purposes.
Arrivals, Departures and Waiting Time
Please be sure that students arrive no more than 5 minutes prior to camp beginning as the teacher is setting up for the lesson. Please pick up your child promptly when his/her camp is over. There will be no supervision provided at the end of class. If you are late, please make arrangements with your child.
Class Observation
One of the unique features of our studio is the abundance of windows. If you arrive early, you can watch your child in action by simply looking into the studio. Please feel free to enter the studio 5 minutes early to see the projects your child has been working on for the day.
Attire
Please be sure that your child is wearing old, comfortable clothing or a paint shirt. Some of the materials we will be using are difficult to get out of clothing.
Music
We will be listening to a variety of music over the course of the year. Music will not have lyrics (as we want students to access the right side of their brain while drawing) unless it’s in another language that they don’t understand.
Communication
Please keep the lines of communication open and let me know what your child needs (e.g., projects are too challenging, not challenging enough, etc.) If you have any questions, whether it’s about course material or teaching philosophy, I’d be happy to chat with you. Please call or email me.
Payments
Camp Fee is due at the time of registration
