Is your learner obsessed with making things out of pipe cleaners? I am, too! I've taught dozens of pipe cleaner art classes and love sharing my ideas, advice, and tips with younger artists. In this 60-minute, private (one-on-one) class, we can focus on whatever your learner is most interested in creating!

Any level of experience is fine: Interested in pipe cleaners but haven't made anything yet? That's okay! Super experienced and looking to make something more difficult? That's awesome, too! Since this is a private class, I can tailor my teaching to your learner's level. If you'd like to start with a shorter class, I also offer a 30-minute version: https://outschool.com/classes/one-on-one-pipe-cleaner-art-30-minute-class-xCQBOo1l

The number of projects we can complete in an hour will depend on your learner's previous experience working with pipe cleaners, as well as the complexity of the projects chosen. Usually, we should be able to create between three and six pieces--although, if they'd like to work on something very advanced, we might only have time for one. I do ask that you message me before class to let me know what your learner is interested in focusing on. This way, I can be prepared to meet your learner’s individual needs, and I can better teach and guide them to successfully create what they want!

Below is a suggested list of projects, roughly organized by complexity/experience level. We can make other things, but I have a lot of experience creating what's listed here, so I can guarantee a great experience! If your learner wants to make something I don't have practice with, we might be experimenting more than actually creating (which is definitely fun in its own way!).

Classroom Expectations:
     	I don’t have a big list of rules for conduct in my classroom. Ideally, we all want to learn and work together to make that happen. Mainly, I ask for two things: 1) Be respectful to the teacher and other classmates; and 2) Have fun!
