Each class will be capped at 12 students to allow for individual attention. We only offer full-day programming during April Vacation week. Instruction takes place inside the Eliot Schoolhouse. Play, snack, and lunch time will take place in either the Schoolyard or, during inclement weather, the Schoolhouse.
Woodworking (Morning Instruction)
For kids that want to learn or build upon the basics of woodworking. Children will build projects in wood with basic tools and techniques in an environment that emphasizes creativity and safety. Students will experience the pleasure of building things and completing them to take home.
Visual Arts (Afternoon Instruction)
For young artists who want to concentrate on specific skills in drawing, painting, and other 2D media. Students will improve their use of line, value, tone, color, proportion, depth, composition and more. They’ll explore a variety of materials and techniques while developing personal expression.

I started woodworking a couple years ago when I began working as a teacher's aide for the Eliot School but it didn't take long to find out how much I enjoyed it. Whether it's making furniture or making toys, to me it's always enjoyable and especially rewarding to teach and help students make something they can be happy with and proud of at the end of the day.
