Kid’s Art Workshop: Painting Terra Cotta Pots

Aug 15 from 10:00 AM to 11:30 AM, Ages 6 to 13

Danielle Festa will be instructing a 90-minute workshop on designing and painting terracotta flower pots, ready to be filled with soil and seeds for planting. Using vibrant acrylic paints and guided inspiration, each child will create a one-of-a-kind pot, sealed with acrylic spray, ready to take home, perfect for growing flowers or herbs.

This class is designed to be supportive and accessible for all children, regardless of artistic experience. We encourage imaginative expression and provide a calm, welcoming space where each child can explore color, shape, and personal creativity at their own pace. Kids will be invited to wear smocks. Caretakers are free to stick around or run an errand!

100% of the proceeds from this course go towards The Aplomb Project.

Location: In person at 262 Central Ave in Dover, NHMaterials: Included!
