Book an Art Class
Creative Summer Days Start Here
Get ready for a colorful summer with Miss Connors!
These small, hands-on art classes are the perfect chance for young artists to get creative, try new materials, and have fun making art in a relaxed, supportive space.
Monday sessions are just for students entering 3rd–5th grade in the 2025–2026 school year, while Tuesdays are designed for incoming 6th–8th graders.
Each class brings a different project, so students can attend whenever it works best for your summer schedule—no worries if you need to miss a week.
Please note: not every Monday or Tuesday has a class, so be sure to double-check the schedule before signing up.
Can’t wait to make some art together this summer!
Need to Know
Where are the classes held?
Classes are held at our cozy studio space in West Costa Mesa, not at OLQA School.
How much do the art sessions cost and what is the schedule?
The art sessions are $100 per child, per day, for a 4-hour session. Each session runs from 10am to 2pm on the selected date.
How many students are in each class?
To keep things creative and personal, we cap each class at 10 students. This small-group setting allows for individual attention and lots of hands-on art time.
What should my child bring?
Please pack any snacks or food your child may want during their time at the studio. Each session includes breaks to rest, eat, and recharge. We’ll provide water throughout the day.
Can I stay during class?
We love chatting with parents during check-in and pick-up! But during class hours, we kindly ask that parents don’t stay in the studio so our young artists can stay focused and independent in their creative space.
Can my child bring a phone or smartwatch?
Sure! While kids are welcome to bring a cell phone or internet-accessible watch, we’ll ask them to turn it in when they arrive and place it in their personal cubby. We want to keep the studio distraction-free and full of art—not apps.
Do you provide art supplies and aprons?
Absolutely! All art materials are provided, and we also have kid-sized aprons to help protect their clothes. That said, even with non-toxic, washable paints, a little creative mess is always possible—so please send your child in clothes they can paint in!
What will my child do during the session?
Each 4 hour class (10a-2p) is packed with drawing, painting, and creative exploration. We build in breaks for snacks and social time, but the focus is always on fun, hands-on art-making in a relaxed, supportive environment.
