Art Classes for Kids

I’m so excited to share I’ve partnered with Henry County Parks and Recreation to offer art classes for kids in Henry County! These art classes take place at Heritage Park in McDonough, a nice central location for all of our Henry County community from Stockbridge and Hampton down to Locust Grove. $15 dollars a week, with a $5 discount for siblings signing up for the same class. Signups are now on a weekly basis – participate every week, just on the weeks that work for your schedule, or as a special treat for good grades! And heads up, registration for each week’s art classes closes at noon the Monday of the week of your class.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will we do ceramics projects every month?

Each quarter, I’ll be sharing projects based on the elements and principles of art and design. Our materials we use will rotate throughout the quarter, and my goal is one ceramics project each quarter. For Fall 2024, I’ll be doing our ceramics project in the November block of classes, with the first week being a hand building project and three weeks later being glazing of projects.

What do we bring to class?

All supplies are included with your class fee.

Is there an automatic way to sign up each week?

The Parks and Recreation registration system lets you sign up for individual classes through the next few months; unfortunately you have to sign up for each individual date you’re interested in. I’ll be developing a mailing list that just gets reminders when the next classes are available for registration, make sure you sign up on the mailing list if you haven’t already! The signup box is at the bottom of this webpage.

What do I wear?

Please wear clothes that can get messy!

Is there any difference in the Monday and Tuesday classes? We can make it to either one.

The classes on Monday and Tuesday will share the same art supplies and topics we’re learning about, but the projects will be different just in case there’s a student that’s so arty they can’t get enough and want to sign up for both days. The Monday evening classes from 6-7pm and 7-8pm are different age groups, and will do the same project.
