We offer a wide variety for all ages and interests. Classes may be single or multi-sessions, while workshops may be a day, or part of several days. The School has well developed studios for Blacksmithing, Glass, Painting, Pottery, Sculpture, Woodworking, and several sunlit classrooms. We love creating art experiences tailored to the individual needs of organizations, families, homeschoolers and tourists based on your interests. Some of our recent customized courses have included: drawing course modeled after Lewis and Clark's documentation of the natural world for a Scout troop; summer Scout badge projects; public school art education hours; family art classes for Douthat State Park vacationers; and Paint 'n Pour classes for work, friends, and special interest groups.
