Art In Motion Studio in Southeast Portland offers wondrous and whimsical mixed media art classes for children and adults. Artist and educator Elizabeth Craig nurtures and inspires the artist within, offering students opportunities for playful and reflective encounters with new materials and ideas. Students enjoy exploration with clay, wire, paint, fiber and mixed media in classes that range from sculpture, book arts, and wire figures, to personal shrines and assemblages. Elizabeth invites each student to see their own unlimited possibilities, so the result of each student’s work is always rich and uniquely their own. My children have grown up taking Elizabeth's classes in her magical studio in SE Portland. Her approach to creating art with the kids is to facilitate the children to tell their own stories with their art. My children have come home with tree forts for elves, habitats, dragons and now most recently- dolls. My daughter, who is now 14, is still going.
