Tween & Teen

The Foundry’s tween and teen workshops provide an opportunity for children ages 10-18 to create with their peers while working with professional artists. Students will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on art-making experiences that will expose them to new art processes and work to perfect their budding artistic talent. All supplies are provided and all skill levels are welcome. 

Pet Portrait – Painting
Saturday, February 2 | 12 to 2:30 pm | Ages 10-14 | $45

Those big, sweet eyes. Those lovable, furry paws. You have the best pet in the world, don’t you? In this exciting painting class, your child will create a lasting memory of their favorite pet! Through the guidance of Beena McMahan, your child will leave with a painted masterpiece of their fur baby. When you register your child, you’ll be sent instructions in a confirmation email on how to submit a clear photo of the pet’s face so our instructor can prepare supplies in advance of the class. Please note that we are only able to include one pet in the painting. If you need accommodations for this program, please contact the Foundry as soon as you are able.
