Visual Arts
About the Visual Arts Program at Fine Arts:
All courses have new projects each session. Materials fees are included in the
class tuition unless indicated otherwise. Cover-up smocks are provided for
preschool art classes.
Ceramics projects are varied by age and interests. Students create all projects from clay. They are then glazed and fired onsite at The Fine Arts Association. Project examples include: trinket boxes, animals, plates, cups, frames, coil pots, piggy banks, baskets, tiles, beads and more!

Preschool Visual Art Classes
Elementary & Middle School Classes
Teen & Adult Classes
In some classes students are expected to purchase their own tools and supplies. There is a clay fee of $10 per bag for all ceramics classes listed in this section unless it is indicated that it is included in the class fee. Ceramic tools are also available for $12 per kit. Please inquire about purchasing supplies at the Customer Service Center. Unless indicated, most courses are designed to permit students to continue from previous sessions. New students are always welcome!
Please note that only ceramic projects completed onsite, during class, at The Fine Arts Association, will be fired using Fine Arts equipment.
Private Visual Art Instruction
Private instruction in visual art is available. Visual Art classes at The Fine Arts Association are designed to provide students with a balanced and progressive instruction in all art media. Individual instruction should be viewed as a supplement to regular art classes, not as a substitute. For more information on available times and prices, contact Jeannie Fleming-Gifford, Director of Education at 440-951-7500 x118.
