CURRENTLY ENROLLING

My summer camps offer a wealth of creative classroom time as well as exploratory time outside. The Create Everyday Classroom's location is walking distance from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design as well as the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. Class sizes are kept small allowing intimate one on one assistance and guidance.

nurture your child's natural abilities to create

The creative soul of the child is bursting, full of expression and ideas on a daily basis. It is our duty to nurture this part of the child as well as empower it. Although this soul can take on a larger than life presence, it can still be very fragile and vulnerable.

Read our history and mission here.

I offer a unique art making experience where the focus is placed on

the process of art making and the exploration of materials. My students experience

a limitless opportunity for intuitive and spontaneous self expression.

Art classes are never limited to the subject or topic of study.

Class sizes are small and intimate. With our own classroom,

children have the opportunity and freedom

to work with and explore any or all the materials they wish.

"We have come to think that duty should come first. I disagree. Duty should be a by-product. ...the creative effort, the use of the imagination, should come first, - at least at some part of every day of your life. It is a wonderful blessing if you will use it. You will become happier, more enlightened, alive, impassioned, light hearted and generous to everybody else."
- Brenda Ueland
