Lessons Details

Private Lessons for All Ages
Want to explore a new medium, but don’t want to take the leap with a larger class community? Or do you or your family prefer your privacy or have a busy schedule? We can work with you to craft a program that fits your needs and interests so that you or a loved one can work one on one with our master arts teachers.

Highschool or Middle School Portfolio Prep Independent Studies
The Portfolio Preparation program for young students is an important part of our youth program. Classes are taught here to MS and early HS students and there are more opportunities as well. Students can also enjoy the benefits of a specialized program that helps them craft a portfolio to apply to college or a high school arts program. This program can take place within a larger class or as a private lesson, but the critiques and development can be essential to a young artist as many of our faculty and admin have been through the process of putting together a portfolio themselves successfully many times.

Independent Study Programs within Current Programing
Adult or youth students who want to use our facilities, such as our large format presses or kilns/wheels, can craft an independent curriculum in conversation with our faculty and take advantage of the current class schedule or open studio time!
These programs allow our community members to take full advantage of what the Academy offers!

Home School Fine Arts Opportunities
The Academy offers an amazing opportunity for the home school student to explore the fine arts. Pre-planned class experiences of personalized lessons are available here so that your homeschool student can have the privilege of a fine arts education while still enjoying the safety and flexibility of the Home School experience.
