The Art of Carving Soap - Art Class for Kids

DATE: Saturday, April 20th

TIME:  12:30 - 2:00pm

AGES:  Students in 3rd-8th grade

 

Spring is a great time to learn a new way to be expressive in art! Join us for a fun and creative soap carving introduction designed specifically for elementary-aged children. In this hands-on workshop, young artists will learn the art of sculpting using simple tools and a bar of soap. Under the guidance of our experienced instructor, kids will unleash their imagination as they carve different designs and shapes, developing fine motor skills and fostering creativity in a supportive environment. The goal of our time together is that each child will leave with a new ability which they can continue to explore independently. 

All supplies will be provided


Instructor:  Dan Gallagher

Dan Gallagher is a soap, wood, and golf ball carver with over 25 years experience. Currently the president of the North Jersey Woodcarvers, Dan is also an elementary teacher with 19 years facilitating learning for children.
