Class Experience

In this ongoing class, we will work on a new project each week ranging from fiber arts, arts and crafts, painting, and much more. 

This also creates a great opportunity to pick and choose which projects your kiddo would like to participate in. Below, I have written out
a week-by-week schedule. 

*I will always send a material list reminder a couple of days before each class. It is, however, the responsibility of the parent to check the project and material list before class if you have enrolled your kiddo within 24 to 48 hours of the class.


***Each section of this course and its corresponding dates can be found below. 
Wednesday (November 16th-Februaru 22nd). This schedule is in a 10-week rotation.  If you missed a class, don't worry, it will come around again after a few weeks.

Teacher expertise and credentials

Vermont Teaching Certificate in Music/Theater/Arts

Bachelor's Degree in Art and Design from Massachusetts College of Art and Design

Hi there!
 My name is Tessa DeForge. I live in the beautiful state of Vermont with my husband, 2 silly dogs and 2 precocious cats. I graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2011 and hold a bachelor's in Art Education. 
I am very passionate about education. I have taught in a traditional setting for 10 years as a 6-12 art teacher and as an early educator. I love to teach a multitude of things through art and play. Some of the classes I offer are: Art Social Group, Crochet Club, 1;1 Knitting and Crochet classes, as well as social groups, to name a few. I am always looking to expand on my class list. The skies the limit when it comes to art and I hope to have some more exciting classes up and running in the very near future.
