Art Classes for Kids

Kids love art, and we love giving kids the opportunity to make art and hang out with each other in a fun atmosphere. The Art-Full Barn hosts ongoing afterschool art classes, art parties, youth pottery classes and summer art programs. Our kid's art programs allow your kids to use acrylic and watercolor paints, pastels, artist markers, different types of papers and canvases, learn interesting art techniques, make pottery and all sorts of great stuff. Scroll down to learn more about the various programs we have for kids.

Afterschool Program

Kids have two options for afterschool programs. Our general program features a variety of art projects. Our pottery program focuses on every aspect of "throwing" pottery.

Paint Parties

We love hosting children's art parties. Whether you'd like us to guide the kids in a project or let them loose in the splatter room (or both), the kids will have a great time.

Summer Art Program

The Summer Art Program runs all summer long. Similar to the afterschool program, kids have the option of doing general art projects or focusing on pottery.

Afterschool Program

Our afterschool programs are once a week from 3:45-5:30. Each session lasts 5 weeks.

Paint Parties

We've got a great space for your child and their friends to have a fun, artistic birthday party. You provide the food. We'll provide the projects. One of our instructors will lead your kids step-by-step in a fun art project that they'll be able to take home. You could also choose to let the kids loose in the splatter room, which is a perfect way for kids to let all their energy out while creating a fun piece of artwork to take home. Give us a call at (706) 754-1247 or use the Contact Form link below to schedule a Paint Party.

Summer Art Program

The Art-Full Barn offers two Summer Art Programs that run all summer long. The General Art Summer Program allows kids to try out a variety of media and projects, including painting, drawing, pastels, watercolor, pottery and more. The Pottery Summer Program focuses solely on pottery. Kids will learn every step of the pottery-making process from throwing, to trimming, to glazing and how to use a variety of pottery tools.

We offer three age groups for each class: 5-7, 7-9 and 9+. Kids must be 9+ to participate in the Pottery Summer Program.

General Art Camp runs for one week, Monday through Friday, for two hours per day. The price is $125 for a week. All supplies and materials are included except for one white shirt, which kids will need to bring to participate in a textile project.  General Art Camp is for kids 5+.

The Pottery Camp runs for three days over the course of one week (Monday, Tuesday and Friday), for two hours a day. The price is $195 for a week. All supplies and materials are included. Pottery Camp is for kids 9+. Each week of pottery camp is limited to 5 students. Each student may pick up their finished pieces 4 to 6 weeks after camp (to allow time for firing).

To save your spot, you'll need to register and pay a deposit of half the camp fee. The remainder of the fee will be due on the first day of camp. Registrations cancelled more than 14 days before the first day of camp will receive a full refund of their deposit. Registrations cancelled less than two weeks before start date will only receive a refund of their deposit if the spot can be filled by new student.
