The Art Center encourages students to explore their individual creative needs by defining their own projects. On any given day at the Art Center, you might see a 5th grader working on a quilt, a 3rd grader finishing a wood project, while other students are working on a painting, glazing a pot they threw on one of our potter’s wheels or relaxing in our easy chair and reading a book. Art Center students of all ages can be seen collaging, weaving, sculpting, paper making, or painting.
