Out Of The Box Art Studio Spring Classes, Events and Summer Camps

February 13, 2021

Come join Out of the Box Art Studio and get messy this Spring!  At Out of the Box Art Studio, our venue uses both outdoor and indoor opportunities during the spring months which helps provide for a fun and safe environment that adheres to CDC Guidelines. Our Summer Camps have always been quite a success and we look forward to sharing our spring & summer again with you. 

All of our classes and workshops/events include a visit with our farm animal friends.  There will be many mediums used in our programs including clay, felting, painting in acrylic, watercolor, and tempera, as well as potter’s wheel, clay hand building, wood, printmaking, recycled art, pastels both in chalk and oil, liquid watercolors, salt, and unusual tools! It's not just a brush here!






Stay tuned as new workshops will also be added for April, May and the Summer so check back often on the website as well as our Facebook & Instagram pages for updates.

Spring is right around the corner and we cannot wait to celebrate the warmer days and beautiful outdoors with you and your family. All workshops must be registered in advance. We have limited spaces due to distancing. We have reduced the class sizes to be able to keep distancing and make sure both the students and teachers are safe while enjoying the farm art studio experience. Some workshops will be held outside when weather permits. All Potter’s wheel events are inside the studio.
