Step into the intimate, magnified world of Georgia O’Keeffe, where flowers become vast landscapes of color, form, and quiet mystery. In this immersive watercolor workshop, we channel the iconic American modernist by recreating one of her celebrated iris visions—focusing on the luminous purples, velvety depths, and elegant ruffles of an iris bloom (inspired by works like Light of Iris (1924) and her ethereal purple-toned irises). O’Keeffe once said she painted flowers large “so that people would take time to look at them.” Through guided instruction, you’ll do just that: slow down, observe deeply, and translate the flower’s lovely curves and subtle shifts in light into translucent watercolor layers.
Dana Childs seeks to inspire painters as well as inform and encourage them. She works to gently encourage them, while offering constructive suggestions based upon solid technique and artistic concepts. Childs loose and interpretive style is infectious and will spark the artist within you. She has developed a strong sense for reading her students after 28+ years of teaching watercolor painting and other forms of media. You can learn more and view her art at www.dlauren.org.

Ever dreamed of being a famous author… but like, actually holding your own book in your hands? (Not just scribbling “Chapter 1” on a napkin and calling it a masterpiece?)
In this super-creative class, kids 8–12 team up with a real professional writer (that’s me—no ghostwriters here!) to write and illustrate their VERY OWN original book. We’re talking epic adventures, hilarious mishaps, talking animals who roast their owners, or whatever wild idea pops into your brain.
You’ll craft the story, draw the pictures (stick figures with personality count!), design a killer cover that screams “bestseller,” and even add a fancy “About the Author” bio on the back flap (perfect for bragging about your pet goldfish or your world-record sock collection). We’ll finish it off with proper binding so it looks like it belongs on a real bookshelf… because it does!
The grand finale? A legit book signing party where you’ll autograph copies for family, friends, and maybe even that one kid who said your ideas were “weird” (spoiler: weird is awesome).
No experience needed—just bring your imagination, a sense of humor, and maybe some snacks (inspiration works better with cookies). Warning: side effects may include uncontrollable giggles, sudden plot twists at dinner time, and parents begging to read your book before bedtime.
Spots are limited—because legends-in-the-making can’t all fit in one room! Sign up now and let’s turn your wildest stories into bound books that future you will still be proud of.
This is a two week course taking place from 9am to 12:30pm on Monday June 8th, Tuesday June 9th, Friday June 12th, Monday June 15th, and Tuesday June 16th with the book signing event on Thursday, June 18th at 7pm.
Academy is $95 (including the published best seller, of course!), with $35 owed to the instructor for supplies on the first day of class.

I’m a licensed elementary music teacher with years of experience teaching K–5 students. My classroom has always been a place where children feel welcome, supported, and excited to learn. I specialize in movement-based, hands-on music learning that helps children feel and understand music— not just memorize it. When kids move, play, and create, they build a real connection to music that stays with them.
“My goal is to help children feel successful, included, and genuinely excited to make music.”

Ms. Michelle’s Music Corner offers small-group music classes built around movement, hands-on activities, and real engagement. Every class is thoughtfully structured so children don’t just learn about music — they experience it.

Hands-on music making with real instruments

Rhythm games and percussion activities

Movement and coordination exercises

Listening skills and creative expression

Confidence building in a supportive group

Small groups so every child gets attention
