A creative practice and in-home art studio that provides art classes for kids, teens, and adults in Downers Grove
Early Fall Studio Update
Due to ongoing street construction near the studio, this year's early fall schedule has been adjusted. In September, only High School Studio and private sessions will be running. Academy of Witches will begin as planned during the last week of September, and weekly MAKEart classes will return to their regular schedule in November. Registration for all fall classes is now open.
Thanks for sticking with me through a few unexpected detours. I'm looking forward to seeing the studio filled with familiar and new faces as we get further into Fall!
MAKEart Studios is led by artist and certified art educator Heather Klausa.
Working from her home studio, Heather teaches small group classes, develops her own body of work, and takes on select client projects. MAKEart instruction is grounded in materials and technique, designed to build skill and support individual interpretation.
WHAT MAKES MAKEart Studios DIFFERENT
Classes at MAKEart Studios are designed with a focus on depth rather than pace, giving students time to build skills and work thoughtfully with materials. Students stay engaged from start to finish - spending their time learning, making, and refining their work.
Students develop art techniques with high end art materials alongside lessons that build over time. Projects are guided, but never rigid, leaving room for each student’s own voice to come through. MAKE isn’t about producing identical results. Each student’s piece reflects the artist who made it.
MAKEart Studios is a small in-home art studio in Downers Grove, Illinois offering drawing, painting, and mixed media classes for kids, teens, and adults within Heather Klausa’s studio as well as off site around the community. Students attend from across DuPage County including Elmhurst, Lisle, Glen Ellyn, Hinsdale, Lombard, and Naperville. Find more info here.
