We’re up and running at the Top, welcoming awesome new students Kallie and Elias, and Dylan from summer. \u00a0Along with the newbies, we’ve got many veterans including Caitlin and Jack, who have been coming since kindergarten and are now\u00a08th and 7th grades.\u00a0Glad they haven’t outgrown me yet. \u00a0This current crop of kids ranges in age from 6 to 16, and they all have one thing in common: They are fearless and true\u00a0artists!\u00a0\u00a0The kids are loving the new studio, and I’m hoping to actually start making some art of my own one of these days.<\/p>\n

I try to record every piece that is created, and post them both\u00a0here\u00a0and on\u00a0Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0so you can share your artist’s work with friends and family. If you want email notifications when I update the blog, just\u00a0click the subscribe link up on the right.
\nEnjoy the artwork from last week, and scroll down for the weekly schedules.<\/p>\n

CLASSES<\/strong>
\nSince we have yet to create the stairs and entry way, kids come down the driveway, and enter through the back door, leaving shoes in the pantry. Kids are welcome to leave a pair of slippers or\u00a0indoor footwear on the rack to have here.<\/p>\n

Please check the schedule carefully and correct me if I’m wrong.<\/p>\n

Please notify me 24 hours in advance if your kid won’t be coming. Payment is expected for last minute cancellations or no shows. Of course sometimes there are extenuating circumstances\u00a0like illness\u00a0that are handled differently. But if your kid gets sent home or stays home sick, please inform me at your earliest convenience. \u00a0I have not increased prices in 8 years and hope to keep it that way.<\/p>\n
