Creative Sampler

Creative Sampler—youth 8-12 years old

Creative Sampler is the perfect way to dive into the world of making—and an open invitation to rediscover your creativity! Instructor, Heidi Jeub, spent nearly half a century turning ideas into art, and this 6-week class is designed to share both the technical skills and the creative philosophy that keep the process fresh, fearless, and fun.

Each session blends skill-building with playful experimentation. You’ll learn foundational techniques in drawing, painting, printmaking, and collage while developing your own voice through a mix of guided exercises and personal projects. Together, we’ll make a hardbound journal, explore color and composition through Gelli prints and mixed-media studies, and finish by creating a small art series of your choice—on canvas, paper, or as a handmade book.

Schedule Overview

  • Weeks 1–2: Make your own hardbound visual journal

  • Weeks 3–4: Drawing, painting, Gelli prints, and collage

  • Weeks 5–6: Create your own mini art series

This class is ideal for curious beginners and seasoned makers alike. It’s a space to play, take creative risks, and connect with a community of fellow explorers.

Class size 4–12 participants. Tuition is $250 for 6 weeks; all materials are provided.

12–1pm — Lunch at a local restaurant near the art center
1–4pm — Create a series of artworks using a variety of materials and discuss the final selection process

Take a day to reconnect—with your creativity, your community, and yourself.
