Children’s Art Classes

Children’s Art Classes runs weekly art instruction for kids out of Emissary Drive in Cary. Classes are grouped by age: Tiny Hands for three and four year olds, Intro to Art for five and six, and Beginning Art for seven and eight year olds.

The curriculum is hands-on and unusually broad, and children work with real materials from the start. Summer camps and standalone workshops fill out the rest of the year for families who want more than the weekly class. Enrollment runs on a school-year calendar.

What to know

• The curriculum covers more than 40 art techniques and mediums.
• Those include ceramics, pottery, sculpture, watercolor, charcoal, India ink and printmaking.
• The business began in 1997, when a public school art teacher taught her two daughters in the garage.
• It has since grown to nearly 40 locations nationwide.
• Adults can enroll in the weekly classes as well as children.
