Adult Classes and Workshops
Creativity Launch Pad Classes
A great way for beginner artists to get started!
Launch Pad classes are for ANY and ALL skill levels seeking a fun, relaxed and creative environment in which to learn something new or work on your own. They offer an opportunity to experience different mediums as an introduction, that could provide a gateway to independent making.
All materials are provided.
Mindfulness classes are perfect for clearing your creative roadblocks and finding your artistic voice.
- For Beginners - a great way to test the medium and see what you like.
- For Intermediates - great for constructive critique.
- For Advanced students - work at your own pace.
Classes meet on the first Tuesday of every month, 5:30-7:00 in the AMoA classroom.
