At MAKEart Studios, creativity comes to life in an intimate, studio setting designed for personalized, small-group instruction and hands-on workshops. Led by certified art educator and professional artist Heather Klausa, each session provides a rich, high-quality experience using top-tier materials for kids, teens, and adults alike. After years of teaching in the public school system, Heather transitioned in 2016 to her home studio, located just steps from the Tivoli Theater in downtown Downers Grove, where she offers customized and immersive classes. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced artist looking to refine your skills, every class is a chance to grow, create, and connect with others who share a love for art.
In addition to running MAKEart Studios, Heather is a working freelance and gallery artist. Her own creative practice informs her teaching, bringing fresh inspiration and professional techniques into the classroom. She regularly exhibits her work and participates in artist residencies, further enriching the learning experience she offers students.
