Mondays are clay days at the art studio. Muddy Mondays return from 3:45 to 5:15 p.m. for 9- to 12-year-olds. Each week students will work on clay techniques while using their imaginations to create pieces out of clay.

The preschool group gets together for Art Exploration every Tuesday from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Each four-week session will emphasize a variety of art materials and fun projects. “The Joy of Giving” is the theme for the third session.

After school on Tuesdays for kindergarten through third-grade students is the popular Art with the Masters series. In the third session, students will learn about Jackson Pollock and Mark Rothko, and then create their own artwork taking inspiration from these masters.

The community After School Arts and Crafts Club for 9- to 13-year-olds meets from 3:45 to 4:45 p.m. Wednesdays. Stumptown Art Studio is providing a creative space for kids to exercise the right side of their brains and create exciting art projects.
