    Painting Like Alma Thomas - Big Kids & Teens

    100%

    by Corner House Studio

    Oakland, CA

    A painting workshop inspired by artist Alma Thomas — an American painter who built worlds out of deliberate dabs of color. We’ll start with a watercolor underpainting, then layer opaque brushstrokes on top to create a radiant, mosaic-like composition. We’ll learn the difference between transparent and opaque paint, practice color mixing, and discover how patience and repeated mark-making can build something genuinely beautiful. Every artist leaves with a finished, ready-to-frame painting—plus a new appreciation for an excellent modern artist. Drop In Class Registration Cancellation Policy: Registration cancellations made more than 72 hours prior to the drop in class date may receive a refund minus the non-refundable deposit. Cancellations made within 72 hours of the class series start date are NONREFUNDABLE.

    Sequin Clay Fish - Big Kids & Teens

    100%

    by Corner House Studio

    Oakland, CA

    In this hands-on workshop, artists design and build their very own wood mosaic mirror frame to take home. Everyone will explore the art of mosaic-making as they arrange and glue colorful wooden shapes into one-of-a-kind patterns around a real mirror. Artists will roll, cut, and shape their very own fish from start to finish! Working with slabs of air-dry clay, students learn the fundamentals of hand-building — how to smooth an even slab, cut clean shapes, join pieces together, and add texture and personality through carved scales, fins, and expressive faces. We’ll explore the artistic choices that make each fish one of a kind: shape, pattern, and character. At the end of class, every artist will carefully carry home their clay creation, which will dry beautifully over the following week — a one-of-a-kind keepsake they shaped entirely with their own two hands! CANCELLATION POLICY Registration cancellations made more than 72 hours prior to the drop in class date may receive a refund minus the non-refundable deposit. Cancellations made within 72 hours of the class series start date are NONREFUNDABLE.

    Painting on Canvas - Caregiver & Me

    100%

    by Corner House Studio

    Oakland, CA

    This 45-minute class is designed for one adult and one child (ages 4–6) to make art together — your participation is part of the experience! We'll guide you both through the day's project at a pace that works for little hands, with materials pre-prepped and scaled for younger artists. In this cozy caregiver-and-me workshop, our youngest artists create a real acrylic painting on a stretched canvas — choosing their own subject from our inspiration wall of shells, flowers, fruits, and curious objects. Each little one starts with a pre-painted underpainting and a beautiful pre-mixed palette, so they can dive straight into the joyful part: looking closely at their subject, dipping into rich colors, and watching their painting come to life layer by layer. Along the way, grown-ups and littles paint side by side, exploring how colors stack, how brushes dance, and how patience turns a canvas into something all their own. Every artist leaves with a ready-to-display painting on canvas — and a special memory of making real art together. CANCELLATION POLICY Registration cancellations made more than 72 hours prior to the drop in class date may receive a refund minus the 20% non-refundable deposit. Cancellations made within 72 hours of the class series start date are NONREFUNDABLE.
