Who needs words when we have stickers?! There is so much more that art making that goes on in our Escort Your Artist toddler classes. Kids learn to share and play and solve problems and feel feelings and make connections and discover a whole lot about
themselves and the world around them! They also take home the most adorable arts. Have you been to our classes? What did I forget?!? Tell us below! ⬇️

Help us spread Holiday Cheer AND involve the whole family!
Pop in to pick an ornament off one of our trees! And if you can’t make it in, DM us Or call and we’ll pick one for you! We have two trees - one in our Art Studio and one in our Pottery Studio! Each ornament lists the age + gender of a local child in need. Simply buy and fill a stocking, and then return it back to the studio by TUESDAY DECEMBER 12th! All stockings support disadvantaged children as a local Elementary school in Union County. We have mostly older kids left!
Please help us spread a little joy this holiday season!
FAREWELL SUMMER! You’ve been so good! You’ve shown us that these little humans are so resilient and determined to reclaim their stolen joy, and reminded us of all the ways that creative expression is essential to the soul.
We watched week after week as kids went from awkwardly avoiding eye contact with each other on Monday (some having to be pried off their parent like a barnacle at drop off), to setting up play dates by Friday. We didn’t have the heart to re-direct two little 5 yr olds yesterday who, rather than making art, preferred to be lost in their own little private game where one of them was clearly a very hungry pet kitten. 😂 We went through gallons of paint & Mod Podge and 3600 pounds of clay (!), loaded into the studio one back-breaking 50# box at a time, and carried out as beautiful masterpieces in the excited arms of their makers. We watched our tweens & teens go from rolling their eyes at the 6 yr olds with ants in their pants, to taking them under their wings & doting on them like mother hens. We may or may not have had some nail biting Texas Hold ‘Em tourneys w/ our lunch crew kids. 😉
We stretched and contorted our creative muscles in directions we’ve never gone before, and (judging by the stacks of leftover t-shirts) accepted that we are just never going to be those people who tie-dye summer camp t-shirts. DM us if you want one!!
We hopefully leave these kids with happy memories that will help them as they power through the school challenges ahead. We are so thankful to all the Charlotte families who stood outside in the sweltering heat, rain and wind at drop off and pick up, and trusted us to keep their kids safe. I am so humbly grateful for, and give all the credit to our amazing team of talented instructors and assistants who made it all happen (read about them via the link in our bio up top!). THANK YOU #CLT 💕
And now… on to Fall classes starting the week of Labor Day! Schedule + enroll lin
Small Hands Big Art, recognized as Charlotte's best children's art studio, is a happy place where creative kids have been making magic (and messes) since 2009.
Rooted in fine art principles, fused with contemporary trends, and slathered in individual expression, we pride ourselves in curating an innovative art curriculum that grows with your child.
Starting when they can barely plant their swivel hips at our painting wall & thrash around with a brush, and continuing into the teens when they start following us on Instagram, we strive to push our creative boundaries, whether it is your child's first time through the door, or 400th.
Our goal is to see that your child leaves the studio having enjoyed the creative process, feeling confident and proud of their efforts and finished pieces, and surprising both you & themselves with how much they learned!
