Classes, Camps,
& Workshops
Come create with me.
I became an art teacher by accident... and it has been one of the most fulfilling jobs of my art career. I love sharing my passion for art making with children and encouraging their creative explorations. Being a part of their art journey is one of my greatest joys.
I have been teaching art to children and teens for over 25 years in my home studio in Charlotte, NC. I offer weekly classes during the school year as well as monthly workshops, summer camps and birthday parties.
Projects are chosen to expose children to a variety of art materials and to inspire their creativity and imaginations. From drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, collage and mixed media, your child will be engaged in the art making process in a small group setting.

Happy Campers
“My son has been taking art from Ms. Laurie for several years now and absolutely loves it! She introduces many types of art techniques and media that sparks creativity even after class is over. I’m always amazed by the quality of creative art my son brings home, the only problem is deciding which ones to frame and where to display them all! Highly recommend if you have a budding artist!”
— Ellen Cox
“We can't thank you enough! Drew had such a wonderful time, created some amazing art and you have inspired him.”
— Beth and Marshall
“My daughter has taken every fall and spring session of art from "Ms. Laurie" for the past six years. It is her favorite activity and she loves the multi-step pieces that take weeks to create. My personal favorite piece is the ceramic singing angel that she made for Christmas (it is something I will always cherish). I also love the holiday door hangers and still portraits, but most importantly I appreciate the creativity that my daughter gets to express in a fun, engaging, supportive and loving environment.”
— Christen Greer
“Thank you so much for being such an amazing art teacher! I had so much fun being in your class!”
— Drew (former student)
