Creative Aging Watercolor: Introduction and Explorations

Come learn the basics of watercolor painting in this "never held a brush before" beginner level class.

Join us for 10-weeks as students learn different painting techniques, create multiple pieces, learn how to frame and display work, and ultimately participate in an exhibition in our gallery space.

This class is primarily for students over the age of 55+ and promotes Creative Aging in our community.

Thanks to a generous grant from the Utah Division of Arts & Museums, we are thrilled to offer our Creative Aging Watercolor: Introduction and Exploration class at a significant discount!

This class is taught in English.

CLASS CANCELLATION:

We find that students learn better in larger groups. If we feel the number of registrations is too low to promote a good learning environment, we may cancel the class. In the event we cancel a class, we will reach out to you as soon as possible.

TUITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM:

We try to make our classes as accessible to everyone as possible. We are able to offer a limited number of tuition assistance scholarships each term. You can complete an application on our website or call our office for assistance applying. Applications are available in Spanish and English.

MULTI-CLASS DISCOUNT:

When you register for more than one class, you can receive a discount up to 10% per class!

ADA ACCESSIBILITY & ACCOMMODATIONS:

Our classrooms are ADA accessible. Some courses may involve tasks or activities that may be difficult for individuals with limited strength, difficulty bending over, and sitting or standing for long periods of time. We are happy to work with students to find solutions to make their experience positive and doable. For example, wheel throwing takes arm strength and bending over the wheel. Students may work on hand-building projects instead of throwing. Please reach out to our office to discuss your needs.
