Explore art techniques on the page! Students will learn a variety of techniques and work with several different materials, including watercolor, acrylic, pastels, charcoal, markers, and paper collage. Due to the small class size, the curriculum course will be somewhat child-directed as the course progresses, with the focus on encouraging students to try new skills and explore new media.

Leigh-Ann leads this class in machine sewing for beginners! Small class sizes mean that students can work at their own pace, starting with simple straight-line projects like pillowcases and drawstring bags and progressing to clothes, accessories, toys, and more! Intermediate sewists are also welcome to join, as Leigh-Ann can support them in pursuing projects at their current skill level.

IfSpace provides several sewing machines, but students who have a machine at home are encouraged to bring it to class to increase their familiarity with their home machine. We also provide a limited selection of notions and fabric, but students are welcome to bring their own materials from home if they wish to use something specific for their projects.
