Art is Serious Play
At Corner House Studio, we believe kids deserve the real thing when it comes to art. That’s why we use professional-grade watercolors, thick cotton rag paper, natural air-dry clay, richly pigmented acrylics, gesso, and other high-quality materials in all our classes and camps. You won’t find flimsy construction paper or dried-out markers here—we treat kids like real artists, because they are real artists.

Using high-quality materials isn’t just about creating pretty pictures. It’s about honoring the creative process, developing foundational skills, and giving kids the tools they need to truly express themselves. Here’s why it matters:
Better Materials = Better Results
Colors are richer. Lines are cleaner. Paint behaves the way it’s supposed to. With quality materials, kids’ artwork turns out the way they imagined it—or better—and they feel proud of what they’ve made.
The Process Feels More Satisfying
Good materials feel good to use. Whether it’s the glide of paint on cotton rag paper or the way real clay holds its shape, the sensory experience is more engaging and rewarding. Kids stay focused longer and enjoy the process more deeply.
Real Tools Teach Real Skills
When kids use studio-grade supplies, they begin to understand how materials really work: how to control watercolor washes, how to layer paint, how to build form with clay. These foundational experiences support future creativity and technical growth.
It’s Not What They’re Getting in School
We love and support public school art teachers—but many are working with very limited supplies. Our studio classes fill a gap by offering access to materials and techniques kids don’t usually get during the school day.

It Sends a Message: “Your Work Matters”
When we hand a child a beautiful sheet of paper and professional paints, we’re saying: You deserve the best. Your ideas matter. Your art is important. That’s a message that sticks.
At Corner House Studio, we know that art is more than just a keep ‘em busy activity—it’s a way for kids to explore, express, and build confidence. And when the tools are high-quality, the learning goes deeper and the results speak for themselves.
Art is serious play. And your child deserves to play with the good stuff!
