Charlotte Class Schedule
Inspiring confidence, creativity, and connection — every week.
Why Choose Small Hands Big Art?
Because Your Child Deserves an Exceptional Creative Experience!
Our classes deliver a premium creative experience, taught by skilled and passionate art educators who know how to bring out the best in every young artist.
What Sets Us Apart & Why Families Keep Coming Back:
- Our classes aren’t just another after-school activity. They are about discovery, self-expression, and joyful mess-making in a warm, inspiring space.
- Real art, taught by real artists. Our instructors are practicing creatives and art educators who know how to connect with kids and guide them without pressure.
- There’s no “right” way to create. Process-first lessons encourage students to explore materials and make choices with confidence.
- We’re a creative community. Students form real friendships in class, and feel like part of something special week after week.
- Every week builds on the last. Returning students grow more skilled and adventurous with every project. You’ll see their progressive growth weekly!
- Artwork worth saving. These aren’t crafts for the fridge—they’re show-off pieces for your wall or shelves (and your heart).
