Private Lessons for Youth or Adults
For students seeking a one-on-one private class, we offer 1 and 2 hour
classes by arrangement. Often youth private lessons will be scheduled on
Saturday afternoons or weekday afternoons after normal school schedules are
complete. Most basic supplies are included for youth private-study students.
Youth hourly private
lessons normally run $10 -$12 per hour depending on the type of project and what
supplies are necessary.
Adult private lessons are much the same with the student working
directly with the instructor for 1 or 2 hour class sessions. Adults are asked to bring
all their necessary supplies with them to class. If you need help putting
together a supply list, we'd be happy to help. Classes are generally arranged for
weekday afternoons or early evening on Saturdays.
Adult
private lessons are $20 per hour. Supplies not included.

sculpture workshops, and holiday-themed workshops. Guest instructors are often
brought in to assist students in specialty projects and techniques. Seating for
workshops is very limited, so enroll early. Check our class schedule for
upcoming workshop opportunities.
