Art for Adults

Art isn’t just for kids. Explore hands-on classes designed for adults who want to create, learn and try something new.

Explore adult art classes in Sioux Falls at the Washington Pavilion. These hands-on classes offer a welcoming space to learn ceramics, pottery and studio art in a relaxed, artist-led environment. Whether you’re trying something new or building on existing skills, our classes are designed for beginners and experienced artists alike.

Clay Creations

Our ceramics and pottery classes focus on hand-building techniques to create unique, functional pieces you can keep or gift. Instructors guide you step by step, from shaping your project to selecting a glaze. Finished pieces are fired and ready for pickup after glazing.

All ages welcome. Participants ages 14 and under must be accompanied by a registered adult.

Studio Art

No experience required. Learn from local artists in classes that explore a variety of art styles and mediums, including drawing and painting. These studio art classes provide a supportive, low-pressure setting for adults to experiment and grow creatively.
