School Day-Off Workshops

School Day-Off Workshops
When school is out, art is ON! Join us for a day-off workshop filled with art projects, outdoor time, and more. Each school-day off workshop features a different theme and activities!

Little House Location: 5315 Elliott Rd, Bethesda, MD
Studio Location: 5481-C Wisconsin Ave, Chevy Chase, MD

Day-Off workshops run from 9:30am to 3pm, unless otherwise specified. We offer aftercare at our main studio location only (until 5pm)!

Please confirm that your child is off from school prior to registering for a day-off workshop. Full payment is due at the time of enrollment. Cancellations made within 30 days of a scheduled workshop are nonrefundable. Cancellations made more than 30 days before a scheduled workshop are refundable, minus a $15 administrative fee. If Red Panda Art Studio cancels a workshop for any reason, we will issue a full refund

We are always happy to arrange private school-day off workshops for private schools and preschools! Email Stephanie at stephanie@redpandaart.com for more information!

Deciding on which location to select for your artist?

• Workshops at the Little House at Westmoreland Hills Park are designed for ages 4 to 11 and run from 9:30am to 3:00pm. The ideal day-off workshop option for artists who love a mix of creativity and adventure—time outdoors, hands-on art making, and everything in between.

• Workshops at the Studio Location are designed for ages 5 to 12 (unless otherwise specified) and run from 9:30am to 3:00pm daily, with optional aftercare until 5:00pm. Our most art-focused option, perfect for artists who are serious about their craft, but still enjoy open-ended stations and outdoor exploration (maybe with a side of friendship bracelet making at the park!).
