Big Creek Clay

THANK YOU to Big Creek Clay for partnering with me to offer art classes to my community. Abbey Blake, myself, and fellow local artists offer a variety of classes for learning artists of all ages. View all of our offerings here.

My classes are available to all ages and abilities! Students are exposed to a wide variety of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional art forms. Itty Bitty Artists focus primarily on a process approach to art, and explore sensory, color, temperature, texture and basic skill builders with painting, cutting, gluing and drawing. Art Explorers try it all! They work on projects that involve multiple layers of learning, from doodles, to drawing, collage, printing, painting, sculpting and so, so much more. Art FUNdamental students delve into the fine art application of techniques and mediums they may have been exposed to as Explorers. Where more structured technical terms might be applied, but the same freedom of expression exists for each artist.
