Winter Art Classes for Kids!
at Little Wildflowers Art Studio in Kitty Hawk, NC
This is seriously the most wonderful time of the year! I have had the best time creating over the past few weeks with some amazing little artists and am really excited about my upcoming classes! I've had a couple requests to have an art class sleepover which sounds amazing and I don't know how that would ever happen BUT I love that they have requested that!!
Christmas Present Making Class!
Using clay, glass glitter, leather, wooden boxes, collage materials, acrylic paints, canvas, wooden blocks, photo transfer tools, and a picture YOU send to me, we'll make 3-4 really really beautiful, unique Christmas presents while we listen to Christmas music! This class is 4 hours, giving you LOTS of time to run errands or do some shopping. I'll feed them a delicious pizza lunch with some fruit on the side, so one less meal you have to worry about! They'll stop by the next day to add a few finishing touches and wrap them, which will take about 1 hour. Nothing is more meaningful than handmade gifts from kids. :)
Gift deets:
- a "crystal" necklace that we'll shape, bake and string on leather
- a collaged wooden treasure box... they can use fabrics, papers, yarns, faux flowers, jewels, etc. (I made mine for a dad because men tend to be harder to shop for, and who couldn't use a little box to hold things!)
- a photo transferred onto a stand alone wooden block, about 6"x6" (you send me the picture ahead of time, I have it printed and we make the magic happen!)
- if we have time, they'll each get to make a 12"x12" canvas that says LOVE with their handprint as the "O", which is a great gift for anyone they love!
Class deets:
- Thursday, December 22nd from 10:00am-2:00pm AND December 23rd from 10:00-11:00am (I am flexible if that time doesn't work for you on Friday the 23rd)
- Pizza and fruit lunch included!
- Girls AND boys are included
- Please have artists wear art friendly clothing... paint and other stuff may stain clothes!
- $95 per artist, due at the class (cash/check only, please)

YES YES YES! "10 weeks of Be Brave & Create: Winter" details!
This will be my 4th "Be Brave & Create" 10 week long class. They're the best classes for kids who love art because we have a chance to really dive in and explore LOTS of different art mediums. All the while, we talk about why it's important to be brave, true to ourselves, honest, authentic and kind. The very last class will be a Grand Finale ART SHOW where we will display our beautiful art around the room and invite a few of our favorite people to enjoy it, with snacks and drinks and fun! This is the first time I'm including BOYS too! I've been enjoying having boys in my classes over the past few months... They love to create JUST as much as girls do!
For the "Be Brave & Create: winter" class, we will be:
- working with alcohol inks
- sewing
- creating mixed media art journals
- arm knitting
- painting (with acrylics & watercolors)
- working with clay
- creating with oil pastels
- and MORE! There's always more that we end up doing! This is just a brief description so you get the idea!
This time around, there will be 2 AGE GROUPS:
- Kindergarten through age 8 (includes girls & boys)
- Ages 9-12 (includes girls & boys)
And the dates/times for those age groups:
k-age 8: 1/12, 1/19, 1/26, 2/9, 2/16, 2/23, 3/9, 3/16, 3/23, 3/30 (3/30 is the ART SHOW!)
ages 9-12: 1/13, 1/20, 1/27, 2/10, 2/17, 2/24, 3/10, 3/17, 3/24, 3/31 (3/31 is the ART SHOW!)
***4:00-6:00pm each day for both classes***
***If you have a conflict with one of the dates, please let me know in advance and we can probably work something out. Also, unexpected misses due to illness can be made up. :)
Please note, there is a minimum of 10 artists per age group to hold each class. So feel free to forward this email on to any friends you think would be interested :)
This class is $350 per artist, which can be broken into 3 payments ($100 due at registration, $125 not due until 2/9 and $125 not due until 3/9)
"Poppy the Dancing Penguin" Preschool-Aged Mixed Media Class!
I cannot wait to create Poppy with some preschool-aged artists and one of their favorite grown-ups! We will use acrylic paint, Mod Podge, scissors, glitter and items from nature to create this cheerful, dancing penguin. I love offering preschool classes because usually when we do art with our little ones, we're worried about paint getting on the table or glitter mysteriously spreading all over the house... Not in this class! You can actually enjoy a project with your little one and watch their incredibly creative minds feel free to express! No art experience necessary for either person, so don't be intimidated by that. Picture coming soon!
Class details:
- Saturday, December 17th from 10:00-11:15am
- Please have everyone wear art friendly clothing... paint stains!
- Register by calling/texting Morgan Vuyovich at 252.207.6914
- All classes are held at Little Wildflowers Art Studio (3901 N. Croatan Highway in Kitty Hawk, just N of the Kitty Hawk Post Office, just West of Hurricane Mo's)
- Again, NO ARTISTIC EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! Please don't be discouraged because you think you're not creative. It will be fun and easy, and more about enjoying the creative process with your little artist!
- Space is limited!
- $25 per artist/grown-up combo
Art Birthday Parties!
Art parties are the BEST! The birthday boy or girl gets to choose what we will create. Each invited guest will leave with a masterpiece on a canvas to hang in their rooms to remind them of the special birthday they celebrated! For ages 5-13, 1.5 hours is dedicated to creating and 30 minutes is left for singing, cake, and opening presents! I make a large personalized Happy Birthday sign for them and do little things to make them feel celebrated on their special day!! In the past, we've created dragons, starfish, owls in trees, seahorses, mermaids... there are lots of options to choose from! For more information, simply shoot me a text or give me a call:
