Special Needs

One of our goals is to offer adults and children with special needs, a place where they can be free to discover, in an environment they feel safe in. We strive to provide a positive, creative experience for students with varying function levels, using instructors who are skilled with special needs students.

Art of any kind is so important for expression, for self-esteem, and for creative thinking. Our classes give students the ability to try new techniques and tools such as hot glue, saws, cordless drills and mediums that range from wood, paint, fabric, wire, and bins full of unique items. We recognize that each student has different skills, strengths, experience and imagination. We work with each student’s unique abilities (not disabilities) and allow each student to choose the process, materials and end creation that they can be proud of with minimal reliance on the facilitator for direction (although assistance is given).  Whether the end product is complete in vision or a complete disaster, we celebrate the process of creative expression.

We’re excited to be a place where adults and children with special needs can express themselves. It is our dream to see the adults and children with disabilities in this community integrated into a culture of creativity. Let us know how you can help make that a reality.
