Remaining an Artist: What to Expect When Coming to Little Leaf Studio

I teach these classes out of my garage, so when you pull up to my house just follow the sign to the back and come on in through the glass doors.

For the school aged class we have an hour where I teach a short 5 to 10 minute lesson and give them the instructions on how to complete the project of the day. I hand out supplies and help kids one on one when needed. After they finish the project I allow them to do free art, where they paint or color with whatever they would like.
For the preschool class, I have 5 or 6 simple projects that we work on in our hour long class. We have toys to play with if their bottoms need a break from sitting.
The goal of Little Leaf Studio is to instill and ignite creativity in young minds, so even if they stray from the project, I do not redirect them. It is their art, if they want to paint a turtle instead of a flower, I do not care as long as it is their best work.

We will make a mess! Messes are fun, so make sure you dress your child in the appropriate attire.

Parents are welcome to stay, but you are also free to drop your child off while you run an errand, or go to McDonald for a coffee, or sit by the pool and get some sun.

You are welcome to pay in cash or check when you get to the class. You can make checks payable to Autumn Orozco. Each class is only $10 per child. This includes all the supplies and an hour long class.

You will take home a lot of art work, and if it is too wet, you may have to come back to pick it up.

One thing I have come to realize is how different every child is. Every child reacts different to new situations. Most kids come in excited to create, some kids need their space or some time to adjust to a new environment. Do not be discouraged if your kid does not react to the class the same way other kids do, or the way you wanted them to. I am very patient, and have worked with children for over 10 years. I do not always know exactly what to do with every child, but I am aware no two kids are alike. I will not judge you or your child. You are welcome to try whatever you think is best for your child. Even if that means coming a little early to check things out, or leaving them crying, or trying again another time. You will not hurt my feelings, just communicate with me ahead of time if you need me to make any special accommodations.

The studio does not have a potty, but you and your child are welcome to use the bathroom in my home.

I will wait 5 minutes for everyone to get to class, and then I will start the class. Please try to be on time.
