FOR THE FULL LIST OF YOUTH VACATION ARTS & CRAFTS CLASSES IN JULY CLICK HERE.
Looking for something fun, creative, and educational to offer your child during the upcoming school vacation? Makers Mill is offering maker workshops for youth aged 7-13, Monday - Friday, in July. Come to as many classes as you’d like; just be sure to pre-register as they are limited to 6 students. Materials are included for each class.
There will be time in each class for students to take a break, so they should bring their own lunch/snack and drink in a sealable container.
Each youth will require their responsible adult to sign our Youth Waiver at the beginning of their first class unless we already have their waiver on file. This is a one-time requirement.
See the world from a whole new angle in this creative drawing class! Young artists will learn how to draw from a bird’s-eye view—looking down from above—to create interesting and dynamic compositions.
Using colored pencils, graphite, and pastels, participants will explore how perspective changes what we see and how we draw it. With step-by-step guidance, students will build confidence in sketching, shading, and composition while experimenting with different materials. Perfect for ages 7–13, this class encourages creativity, observation skills, and a fresh way of seeing the world around them.
