Art League of Henderson County class for children<\/p><\/div>\n

Starting in March, The Art League of Henderson County will present a calendar of art and ceramic classes for children ages 7 to 14 years old. The classes will be offered after school, during school breaks and throughout the summer. Held in the workshop rooms at The Art Place Gallery, the classes will cover a variety of topics, including drawing, painting, printmaking and 3D sculpture. Ceramic classes will be held in the Glassman Clay Studio.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene, these classes offer more than just artistic instruction\u2014they provide a vital, constructive outlet for expression and emotional recovery,\u201d says studio manager Hannah Gambino. \u201cNumerous studies have shown that art and creative activities can act as a healthy distraction from trauma, fostering resilience and emotional well-being. We\u2019re at a pivotal moment in the Art League\u2019s journey where we are now able to expand our offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n

The classes will consist of weekly classes for five consecutive weeks during the school term and five-day sessions during school breaks, starting with the week of spring break, Monday through Friday, March 17 to 21. Gambino, who has a teacher\u2019s license in K-12 art, will be leading a five-day clay club from 10\u201411:30 a.m. on these dates. \u201cThree days will go over the basics of wheel throwing, trimming and decorating their pots, and two days will focus on handbuilding with sculpture projects,\u201d she says. \u201cA few weeks after, their works will be ready for pickup or shipping.\u201d<\/p>\n

From 1-2:30 p.m. on the same dates, a Spring Break Art Academy will be facilitated by several instructors, including artist Linda Hendricks. \u201cI would like to encourage fun in the process of creating art,\u201d says Hendricks. \u201cI also want the children to know that their artwork is important. They should be able to show it and be proud of it. Whether it is on the refrigerator or in the mall on display, all children\u2019s artwork needs to be shared and enjoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Art Place Gallery is located at 2021 Asheville Highway, Hendersonville, and the Stuart Glassman Clay Studio is next door at 2015 Asheville Highway. Learn more and register for classes at ArtLeagueHVL.org<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
