Join us for a four-week course that invites students on a creative journey into the world
of three-dimensional art. Young artists will explore sculpting, carving, weaving, and other
tactile art processes while working with diverse materials that support fine motor
development and creative problem-solving. Blending hands-on artmaking with
movement games and collaborative activities, this class fosters experimentation,
cooperation, and self-expression. Students will build skills and confidence in a
welcoming, supportive space that celebrates creativity and artistic exploration!

Through her work, Emily seeks to nurture meaningful relationships between people and the environment, where personal expression can spark advocacy, healing, and wonder. She holds a BA in Art Education from the University of Northern Colorado and has taught in diverse settings from public schools to alternative, outdoor-based programs. Currently, Emily is expanding her personal art practice while continuing to create engaging educational opportunities for youth in Ridgway and Montrose.
