Classes

At The Clay Nest Art Studio, our children’s art programs bring together creativity, nature, and a sense of playful discovery. Each class invites kids to explore outdoors, gather natural materials, and let their imaginations lead the way. Through a mix of guided projects and open-ended creation, children build skills, confidence, and curiosity—while having fun, making a little mess, and finding joy in the creative process.

Coming 2026

​Studio is located in Ranchlands NW, Calgary (Mohkinstis) next to Wildflower Park where Aspen groves cocoon wild raspberries and Nootka roses. Where Nettle reminds us to be present and notice the abundant wildflowers. In winter stillness the chickadee song echoes from the lookout hills as we still find beauty. 

​

I am forever grateful to the people who were stewards of this land before my ancestors arrived and to all the people who continue to be stewards of our collective home.

Prices & Class Details

​

Drop-ins are welcome!
Some projects are multistep and may need additional sessions to complete. If your child joins on a day when a project is mid-process, we’ll happily adapt the activities so they still enjoy a full creative experience and take home their own unique artwork.

​

Each month features a new theme explored through a variety of art mediums, techniques, and forms. Children will experiment with painting, charcoal drawing, clay work, natural fabric dyeing, and more.

​

Rather than bringing home artwork that looks like it was made by an adult, your child will create pieces that are genuinely their own. Each class provides gentle guidance to build artistic skills while encouraging creative freedom, open-ended exploration, and hands-on making with natural materials and loose parts — so their ideas can truly take flight.

​

Ages are listed as a guideline to suit the planned activities. If you feel your child would be a great fit for a program outside their age range, please reach out—I’m always happy to chat and find the best fit.

Our Creators Program includes more materials, time, and in-depth exploration, which is reflected in the program cost.

​

Coming Soon!

Exciting single-day workshops featuring guest artists are on the way!

If your family is interested in weekend classes, please reach out—we’d love to hear from you as we plan our upcoming programs.
