CA’s Saturday children’s program offers a variety of activities for all age groups: Pottery for 6 to 8 year olds; Painting & Drawing for 7 to 10 year olds; and Ceramics for Junior High students 11 to 15. A Mixed Media Studio for ages 9 to 12 will explore printmaking, drawing, and batik and 3-dimensional pieces in clay and wood.
