Hi Everyone-
I hope everyone is savoring the summer!
(Please keep scrolling after my information to see another art opportunity for preschoolers at Lexfarm that I am lucky to be a part of!)
Here’s what the schedule looks like this Fall 2022. The session starts in October. All classes at my studio/ backyard 115 Robbins Rd, Arlington, Ma unless otherwise noted!
Both classes are mixed age 5-11 years old. In the recent past this has worked for families with a number of kids attending.
I am hoping to run some workshops for older students. Let me know if you have children in Gr 4 or 5 or middle schoolers who may be interested.
Each class we will focus on a project for the first hour or so and then students work/play with materials available. We will do a mix of 2D and 3D work. My intention is to give time and space to children to express ideas in a variety of media. My role is to make materials accessible, give them a starting point and then let the playful process begin!

Art at LexFarm
If you haven’t been over to the Lexington Community Farms since Busa left you are in for a treat! It’s right beside the Res on Lowell street. It’s an organic farm that has CSAs and a farm stand and is evolving community programs (yoga with Wonder Yoga, musicians, and an education program Rachel Curtin (mother of Simona for Great Ex families) is expanding. Take a look at their website!
ART IN THE GARDEN (4-6 Y/O)
Let’s let the life at the farm inspire us! Come play and make art with natural materials and traditional art media. The garden is a rich source of the elements artists use – color, shape, line and texture. We’ll also visit the animals at neighboring Silk Fields Farm and enjoy the sights and sounds there.
In this 8-class series children will use their senses through games, scavenger hunts, drawing, painting and building. Each class will include an open-ended project as well as time to explore materials through play and get to know the farm environment.
Class size is limited to 10 children with 2 teachers. We’re lucky to have guest teacher Ann Wynne joining us on the farm this fall! Ann is a local artist, art teacher, and seasoned early childhood educator with a background in nature education. You can check out her art blog here. Ann and our lead farm educator, Rachel, are excited to collaborate on this new class series!
Monday Mornings, 9:30-11:30 am
Dates: 9/12, 9/19, 9/26, 10/3, 10/17, 10/24, 10/31, 11/7
