Olivia Harvey is an avid sewist and upcycler who first learned how to sew as a kid right here at NRAS with Brooke Stanton — and she hasn’t stopped since! Along with making and embellishing her own clothes, Olivia also sells her upcycled creations through her online shop OHpleeze. She believes that everyone should learn how to sew because it makes life (and your closet) a lot more interesting!

During three 10-week sessions throughout the school year, students in grades 1–5 will explore and develop their artistic abilities in a fun, supportive, and nurturing environment. Children are encouraged to express their ideas, experiment creatively, and build confidence in their unique artistic voice.

Students will work with a wide variety of media—including drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media—while learning foundational art concepts through hands-on projects. Inspiration will come from artists throughout history and from diverse cultures around the world, helping students discover new ways of seeing and creating.
