Morning Homeschool Studio Program

StudioTime began in 2007 as a homeschool gathering place, offering young artists a place to connect with other homeschool kids and learn a wide variety of subjects through the lens of art. The program has grown and developed and we still offer challenging and exciting projects in multiple mediums including wire, wood, fabric, clay, and found materials.  Throughout all projects, students develop classical skills, critical thinking, an understanding of tools, and a creative approach to problem solving.  Our project-based approach is designed to nurture a 'can-do' spirit within each young artist as we inspire confidence, celebrate self-expression, and encourage individuality.
