AFTER SCHOOL CLASSES
fall 2026
fall program notes
In response to family feedback, we have made a few changes to our After School schedule, including two, shorter classes on Fridays for focused art time, rather than one longer class. These classes are designed for artists who are excited to take a deeper dive into art, but maybe do not want or need the longer 2 or 2.5 hour classes.
We have not changed the structure of our Monday-Thursday classes, and those still start with time for children to have snack, enjoy books solo or read to them by our teachers, and participate in open-ended art activities so they can decompress from school.
Students and teachers then come together for a meeting to start the activity of the day only after everyone has arrived and had time to settle in, usually closer to 3:45 or 4pm (we let the children guide the timing).
So if your child's school lets out later, they can still join the class and not miss anything, as long as they arrive by 3:45 or so.
MONDAYS
studio to gallery
with Christie
Ages: 2nd - 5th Graders
Class Time: 3:00-5:30pm
Dates: 9/14/26 - 12/21/26
In this class we'll explore what it means to be an exhibiting artist! Students will learn about how artists put together a show, how curators design shows and gallery spaces, even how they install work! Students will of course also create their own works of art (we'll explore a variety of media, and students will choose which one they'll use for their displayed pieces). We'll partner with galleries around the neighborhood including 440 Gallery, and the class will culminate in an exhibit and artists' reception at Spoke the Hub, which will remain up for the month of January! This class will also include some walking field trips to local galleries.

TUESDAYS
prints, patterns and paint!
with Christie + Eleanore
Ages: K-1st Graders
Class Time: 3:00-5:00pm
Dates: 9/15/26 - 12/22/26
Come explore the magic of patterns and printmaking in art! In your day to day life you might see polka dotted socks on somebody sitting next to you on the train, teeny tiny stripes when you look closely at a leaf, and zig zags on the bottom of your sneakers. Patterns are all around us! In this class we'll create monoprints, collographs, block prints and more, layering our work with our paintings and drawings. We will get inspired by artists like Gustav Klimt, Lynne Drexler and Matthew Wong who used patterns as the foundation of their art practices, making an ordinary vase come alive, or a forest look like millions of dots.

WEDNESDAYS
This class will focus on collections, both literally and metaphorically. In a literal sense, we will work with collage, make sculptures with collections of found objects, and build vessels to store our most treasured collections—wether they be memories or acorns. And, metaphorically, we’ll collect colors by doing paint mixing exercises, we’ll make painting series, and we’ll collect images from the world around us by doing a photography project. Join us on Wednesdays as we collect artistic experiences together!

THURSDAYS
This class will be taking a deep dive to explore the humble medium of paper! Our friend of function, made from the earth. We will be exploring the art of refurbished paper, using recycled paper materials such as newspaper or found paper to make handmade paper sheets. We will be playing with engraving objects into our paper, making paper sculptures, paper masks, dying paper and working collectively to make loooong sheets of paper that wind themselves around the room. We will explore how paper can be molded, adorned, and utilized. In this class we will be inspired by artists such as Aimee Lee, Amanda Degener, Nnenna Okore, and more as we discover the many ways that paper is beautiful, holdable, and full of potential!

This class will look at the work and techniques of a wide range of drawers and painters for inspiration. From Ruth Asawa’s careful lines and patterns to the colorful landscapes of David Hockney. We will start by working with materials and techniques informed by each artist to see what they inspire us to do, and then we’ll look at the work of the artists. The students in this class will have a chance to work diligently and develop their style and skills as we explore a variety of drawing and painting techniques!

Dates: 9/11/26 - 12/18/26
This class will focus on collaborative work and the power of imagination through a wide variety of media. Together, we'll paint murals of landscapes and cities and individually we'll make buildings and trees to populate them. We'll draw huge heads as a group and each of us will make different eyes, noses, or mouths for them. We will also dedicate some classes to our interests as individual artists as we explore the difference between being part of a group and working alone. We'll also make jigsaw puzzles, mosaics, and stamp patterns as we think about all the ways that individual pieces - and artists - come together to form a whole.

In this class, we’ll explore our favorite personal motifs and discover what makes our art ours. We’ll design and create stamps, stickers, and block-printed t-shirts inspired by the shapes, colors, and imagery we love most. Along the way, we’ll look at artists known for their distinctive visual styles: Etel Adnan and her vibrant landscapes, Yayoi Kusama’s dots, Wassily Kandinsky’s bold geometry, and Hilma af Klint’s mysterious symbols. Join us to discover and develop your own artistic style, and turn your trademarks into wearable and shareable art.

Layers of paint mixing together, layers of cardboard stacked to build, prints layered with rubbings, yarn, and tape.

We will spend our Thursdays drawing, painting, and building art that is as layered as the artists who make it.

Calling all art makers and shakers! Join us on Fridays to paint, tape, glue, build, sculpt, draw and tinker with everything from found objects to cardboard to fabric. We love the fact that paper and popsicle sticks may become a boat on a lake in the hands of one child and an abstract sculpture in the hands of another. This class is designed to encourage independent material explorations. The teachers will be ready to support and empower our young artists in their boundless creative pursuits.

In this class we will practice observing and imagining, using drawing, painting, animation, and building.

We will use drawing as a tool for letting our ideas run wild and letting stories unfold.

We'll explore every way we can think of to draw as we find what kinds of lines we like best.

free community weaving event!
Ages: 1.5+
Time: 1:00-4:00pm
Date: 10/18/25
Do you have extra camp t-shirts from the summer, old t-ball jerseys from last spring, or ill-fitting community team-building tees that you're looking to get rid of? Join us for an epic upcycling event where we work together to turn unwanted items into a gorgeous collaborative weaving! We'll have tables set up to show you how to create "t-shirt yarn" from old clothing, as well as extra on hand in case you've already passed on all your old t-shirts! Our teachers will then help artists of all ages weave on either our large-scale standing tapestry loom, or one of our small table looms.
Sign up is not required, but our space is small, so artists may have to wait to weave if they pop by and we are at capacity.

fall program notes
In response to family feedback, our After School classes now start earlier, at 3pm. The first part of class, however, is time for children to have snack, enjoy books solo or read to them by our teachers, and participate in open-ended art activities.
School can be a LOT and students need time to decompress!
Students and teachers then come together for a meeting to start the activity of the day only after everyone has arrived and had time to settle in, usually closer to 3:45 or 4pm (we let the children guide the timing).
So if your child's school lets out later, they can still join the class and not miss anything, as long as they arrive by 3:45 or so.
Please note, our hourly rate has also stayed the same from last year, but the fall semester is longer than the winter and spring, and we have lengthened all of our afterschool classes to offer more support for families. Our classes also meet on all single day holidays, so you can continue to count on that coverage.
