COMMUNITY ART CLASSES
CLASSES FOR ALL ABILITIES
4 Elements Studio strives to provide a nurturing environment and support creative expression for all artists, including a wide range of abilities. We make art and creative expression available to individuals impacted mentally and physically through specialized individual or group classes, including pottery wheel throwing, pottery hand building, painting, drawing, printmaking, creative movement and drumming taught by experienced teaching artists and instructors.
Students learn life skills through their art process and a step-by-step method is used from beginning to end of completing an art project. Working onsite at 4 Elements Studio provides the opportunity to work within a dynamic arts community, being inspired by our Resident Artists and community members, and sharing their creativity with others in an immersive environment. All classes are catered to a student’s specific needs and are scheduled at your convenience.

POTTERY CLASSES
Working with clay is a great outlet for those with different sensory needs. It is tactile, friendly, and allows for hands-on creative expression. These pottery classes are welcome to everyone of all abilities and skill sets. Students will learn and experiment with wheel throwing and hand building techniques, including slab building, pinch pots, coil pots, and expressive sculpting. Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready to be picked up 10-12 days after the class has ended. These private classes are 4 times per month for 1-hour each. No previous experience is necessary. Open to ages 6 and up.
Masks are required for all vaccinated and unvaccinated visitors, students, and staff until further notice.
