Isis Art Studio

Arrive, smock up and dive in. Let your kids get messy here.

Want your child to experience “big art” but dislike the big mess at home? Here is the place they can paint a wall with a roller, or dip their bare feet in paint to see the footprints. Children will explore tools, props and art materials on their own terms, and find new ways to view and use familiar objects in novel ways. The Art Studio philosophy introduces art creation as a process using all senses (auditory, visual, tactile), without an emphasis on the finished product.

Classes feature a new theme each week. Multiple stations are set up with materials awaiting your child’s explorations. In addition to using traditional art materials, we’ll also use soft dough, ice paint, foam, clay, water, sand, goop, fabric and even bubbles to create art experiences in unexpected and imaginative ways. Background music and an end-of-class story book and songs tie into the theme of that week’s session.

Our explorations are large scale and messy but will clean up easily. All materials are non-toxic and washable, and smocks, wipes and washcloths are provided. Suggested for ages 14 months – 3.5 years.

Materials fee included in price.
