It's almost turkey time! Kids will learn a skill called Bauernmalereia, a traditional form of folk art originating from Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. First we'll practice by painting a turkey, to show off fanciful feathers. Then we will work on an actual pumpkin, painting brick red, navy or black and then painting flowers, vines and leaves with a brush of loaded colors. It will be so beautiful you will want to keep it as a nice centerpiece for the Thanksgiving table! Small class size ensures individual attention and generates strong self confidence. A Gallery Show will be presented to families at 11:50am. By artist/instructor Pamela Palmer B.F.A. Founder of The Artist's Apprentice. Please wear clothes that are not precious, bring a snack and water bottle. Wear socks, short break on the hour will happen in the playscape!

Come along kids! Let's Paint!
Monday, December 14, 2026⋅ 6:00 – 8:00pm
Renaissance High School
Let's paint a one-of-a-kind gift!
With the holiday season just around the corner, let's make a beautiful painting for a special person in our life! Do you have an interest that you would love to share with someone? Perhaps you love cute animals, an Arctic fox, baby seal, a polar bear cub or you want to capture the beauty of a sparkly snowflake. Whichever you choose the person you give it to will love that you made it just for them and will cherish it for years to come! Young artist's will work out their preliminary drawing on canvas in watercolor pencil, (so easy to correct mistakes!), and then we will move on to vibrant acrylic paints. As a special finishing touch, kids will select a gift bag, tissue paper and bow in which to put their unique treasure, all set for giving! No experience necessary. FUN FACT: Scientific studies strongly confirm a direct correlation between giving presents to others and experiencing a boost in happiness!
Taught by Artist/Instructor Pamela Palmer B.F.A., Founder of The Artist's Apprentice. Ages 6 and up
$20 tuition + $10 material fee. All supplies included. Space is limited, so register early!
