Natural Arts & Folk Crafts Apprenticeship
Through our apprenticeships, expert Trackers Mentors guide youth and teens in learning at art studios. Our classes are designed for students from beginner to advanced levels. Thanks to our small class sizes, instructors can provide individual attention to each apprentice. Develop the following skills:
Ceramics Coil, pinch, and sculpt clay into both fun and practical objects. Fire your creative works in our kiln and hand-paint your unique designs.
Woodworking Learn to safely work with and whittle wood under the watchful eye and guidance of our seasoned art teachers. Construct fun woodcraft projects with your own hands.
Earth Arts & Crafts Use materials, fibers, and pigments found in nature for crafting. Even bend soft metal such as brass and copper, learning to connect and create fun ornamental pieces.
