TEEN ART CLASSES
for 9-12 + 13-17 yrs
“The studio hums with creativity but also builds confidence - my son walked in feeling nervous and unsure of himself, but thanks to the teacher and a well-designed lesson, he left with a sheaf of drawings, the confidence to make more art and the desire to come back and dare to create even more! Thank you CWAS!”

Young artists build a solid foundation of professional-level techniques while being introduced to new concepts and inspiration.
