Hi-Desert Artists Offers Six-Week Hands-On Youth and Family Art Program Featuring Drawing, Painting, and Ceramics

Hi-Desert Artists invites children and families to participate in a six-week immersive art experience that explores drawing, painting, and primitive ceramics through hands-on creative practice led by working artists.

Designed as both an introduction and an enrichment opportunity, each Saturday session combines demonstration, guided making, and a short show-and-tell, allowing participants to learn new techniques while building confidence in their own artistic expression. Parents are encouraged to attend and create alongside their children, making the class a shared creative experience.

The program runs Saturdays from July 11 through August 15, 9:00–11:00 a.m., and concludes with a special community celebration: a pit firing kiln opening and picnic on Sunday, August 16.

Class Schedule:

  • July 11: Sketchbooks
  • July 18: Hand-Building Pottery
  • July 25: The Elements of Art
  • August 1: Color
  • August 8: Still Life Painting
  • August 15: Pit Firing
  • August 16: Pit Firing Reveal & Culminating Picnic (free community event)

Discounted pricing is available for participants who enroll in the full six-week course, as well as for pairs registering together. Individual classes are also available for those who prefer to drop in.

Pricing:

  • $20 per class (individual)
  • $30 per class (pair)
  • $110 full six-week course (individual)
  • $170 full six-week course (pair)

All sessions are taught by practicing artists, offering participants direct exposure to real studio processes and techniques in a supportive, creative environment.
