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.
