An art exploration class for children who are ready to make the transition to attending class independently.  Easel painting, play dough, and a mystery project each week.  Potty trained appreciated, but not required.

Since the beginning of recorded time, horses have appeared in art.  Young artists will learn to sculpt, paint, and dabble a little bit in art history all centered around horses.  Artists include Deborah Butterfield and Frazier Marc.  A group project will be auctioned at the ArtHaus Kentucky Derby Gala on May 4.

You may have heard of building a better mousetrap, but why stop there?  Each session youth will work to build, test, and build again a variety of different tools they already love.  Starting with a sled, the youth will use everyday objects to build something faster, safer, better looking, and more.  Other challenges (like toys) will be presented throughout the course.

This class is sure to spark interest in all youth who love to add a little science to their art.  Students will learn circuits while creating light up paper cards, add conductive thread and LEDs to wearable items, and even create glow in the dark paintings.  All a little light to the gray days of winter and join us for Light it Up!

It’s an alcohol 2 for 1!  Sip on some delicious Pulpit Rock drafts as you learn to paint with alcohol ink. Frances Kittleson will guide you through a variety of techniques to apply to cards and more.  From landscapes to abstract, this class will be a burst of color and ton of fun.
