Schedule an Individual or Small Group Session
Children choose an art or craft project and work at their own pace. They decide what they want to do, receive one-on-one attention and I provide the art and craft supplies. Parents can schedule sessions with their children's friends too.
I encourage parents and caregivers to join these sessions as well! Individual instruction costs $45, more than two children $25 per person.
To book sessions at your convenience contact me at (781) 343-1250 or nicoledonson@comcast.net to set up a date and time. You decide the length of the class and then contact me to book when you want to meet and for how long.
Sessions can be held indoors or outside if you wish, weather premitting. There is a large shady yard in front of my studio building with trees and grass.
