December 7 @ 3:00 pm – 5:00 pm
Teen Takeover is a dynamic afternoon of programming created by AMFA’s Teen Advisory Board, a group of local freshmen to senior high school students dedicated to increasing art accessibility for their peers.
Drop by AMFA’s Windgate Art School to enjoy hands-on activities in every studio:
- Ceramics: Experiment with throwing a clay pot on the pottery wheel. No experience necessary!
- Drawing: Try your hand at life drawing on paper and digitally on a tablet. All materials provided!
- Metals: Discover opportunities for teens in the metals studio and make a small piece of jewelry to take home with you.
- Glass: Learn some basic techniques in glass torchwork to create small works of art.
- Woodworking: Try your hand at wood carving while learning tool and shop safety. Then, use your carved piece to create a wearable, multimedia work of art with what you make in the glass studio.
Whenever you need a break from creating, there will be snacks and music to enjoy!
The Teen Advisory Board is supported by The Schmieding Foundation Committee and the Alice L. Walton Foundation.
