Little House of Art

Temporarily closed due to COVID-19.

Open Studio time is available to parent/child duos at both their Chamblee and Downtown locations. Be sure to check the calendar for their open studio times. Or you can arrange drop off (ages 4 and older) with Little House of Art’s resident artist while you run a few errands.

Farmhouse in the City

Temporarily closed due to COVID-19.

Farmhouse in the City offers oodles of natural inspiration in its charming Roswell cottage with farm animals on site. Paint and Play (held during the week) allows for your child to care and feed small animals, create pottery, jewelry or a canvas painting and even dress up in the playrooms. They do require reservations for Paint and Play so sign up online before going.

Treehouse Kid and Craft

This whimsical toy store (with locations in Atlanta and Athens) offers drop-in art classes. They have a session for 2-4 year olds and then one for 5-10 year olds. While they are “drop-in,” it is best to reserve your spot online, just to make sure you get a spot. In the classes they craft, paint draw and sometimes sculpt. It’s different every week.

Main Street School of the Arts

At this art school in Tucker, kids truly learn about art with concepts like color theory and art history. They work with chalk, pastels, charcoal, sculpture, clay and many other mediums. The classes are ongoing so students can join at any time, making it easy to drop in and try it out.
