Folk Arts For Kids | Zoe Payne | All Levels | All-Day Class | Week 5 (August 3-7. 2026)
Augusta Folk Arts for Kids participants (ages 5-11) explore visual arts, dance and crafts through the creation of a variety of artworks and explorative experiences. Participants will paint, sketch, dance, sing, dye, weave, bind, mold, sew, experiment and more as they learn about how crafts are connected historically and to the world today. Students will delve deeper into their interest in the arts while creating a solid foundation for taking a project from start to finish. Student artists will present their work and reflect on the progress through critiques and an end of session showcase. Throughout the week participants will have the opportunity to explore the wider Augusta experience through guest presenters and artists as well as campus tours and art inspired walks.
