During the COVID-19 pandemic when the Center was closed down, we offered virtual art lessons for kids and families.
In this series, our Program Manager Eric Scott guides you through a wide variety of materials and techniques — everything from drawing to sculpture. Watch anytime with our YouTube videos below, and work along stopping and rewinding anytime that you need. Though they are mainly geared for kids, these lessons are great for adults and family as well.
