Mini-Atelieristas
Ages: 1-4 + grownup
Through the use of a wide range of materials (clay, paint, light & shadow, natural materials, etc.) Downtown Atelier’s space allows for open-ended sensory exploration. Their goals are for children to build independence and make discoveries by freely exploring beautiful provocations. Downtown Atelier celebrates curiosity and imagination, nurturing the process of creation rather than focusing on the outcome.
They are a semester based program, but do offer trials! By holding semester long classes their goal is to build a consistent classroom community which allows the children to become familiar and comfortable with the faces and materials in their space. These classes are designed to support and ease children.
