Looking for a way to engage those little ones in a unique, creative way? Salt painting was made for them! They'll bring their own creation to life using the simplest of elements: Elmer's glue, salt, and food coloring! Under the tutelage and guidance of an artist who is well-experienced with kids (he has 26 nieces and nephews), they'll create several colorful, fun, safe artistic creations. This is not your child's cookie-cutter class, every session is catered to their interests, wants, and needs. Is your kid in a truck phase? Princess? Paw patrol? Watch this artist pull up reference and skillfully *attempt* a faithful replica. No promises, but he does love a challenge. Regardless, it will be memorable, and hopefully no copyright lawyers come after him.
Worried that the class isn't educational enough? Watch as the artist, trained at San Francisco's Art Institute, cleverly embeds Color Theory right into the lesson. Oops, they're learning, and they don't even realize it! While the instructor may not guarantee that your kid will walk away understanding the importance of Rothko and Mondrian, there's a good chance they'll understand which two colors make up Orange and, with any luck, which colors combine to make Brown (which is to say, it might get messy--and that's fine, he loves a messy artist). The best part of this class? It will equip parents (and possibly kids themselves) with another creative tool in their arsenal *at home.* Now you have one more great way to grab little ones' attention with a simple, but stimulating, and time-consuming activity they'll fall in love with and maybe, just maybe, give mom or dad five minutes of peace.

Growing up in a family of artists, I had an affinity for all things creative since a young age. Inspiration was everywhere, from my mother's stone sculptures to my sister's colorful impressionist paintings, to my father's poems. I studied at The Art Institute of San Francisco, where I honed my painting, sculpture, and design skills. I was hired out of college to work at Lucasfilm, where I worked as a designer on Star Wars for many years. The Lucasfilm studios are essentially a museum with all its rich history on display. Walking down the hall, you'll pass an actual ET used on set, a full-size velociraptor from Jurassic Park, or a model and matte painting of the Death Star from the 1977 original Star Wars. It's impossible not to feel that anything is possible when surrounded by such iconic creatures and artwork at every turn.
Upon moving to New York, I met my husband, and together, we decided to build a space where art is for everyone. At Bowery Princes, art is accessible and anyone can tap into their innate creativity. I started teaching classes because I love working with resin, but there's such a high barrier to entry for this medium, with the masks and equipment and space to cure, etc. I've been doing lessons for a few months now and it's incredibly rewarding to watch guests go from "I'm not artistic at all" to "wow, I made THAT."
Come join us, you'll be stunned by how much beauty you can create. We can't wait to meet you.
