Youth Classes

Do your children love art and constantly beg you to get them more things to do? Well, sign them up for one of our youth events! We have a wide range of classes and workshops available for them to take to help satisfy and encourage their creativity. We take students of ages 18 and younger.

We also offer Summer Camps and Spring Break Camps!

If your child is a member, they get a big discount on class registrations and camps, and free sitting fees in our painted pottery studio!

    Perfect for adults and teenagers ages 13+

    The combination of words and pictures is an effective, exciting and entertaining way to tell a story.

    Start a cartoon journal, with you as the main character and your life as the plot!

    Or perhaps you’d rather create a fictional comic strip inspired by real life.

    In this workshop, we’ll break cartooning down to its simplest steps. We’ll create a short and simple comic strip and learn how the same lessons can be applied to full-length comic books and graphic novels.

    If you like, you can share your creation on Preble Arts' website, for others to view!

    Craig Boldman is a professional cartoonist who has worked for Archie Comics for over thirty years, and written and illustrated his own creations for even longer.

    Learn more about Craig Boldman here!
