Art Farm is an amazing place, especially for urban and suburban kids — a slice of rural paradise that’s just a few minutes away from downtown Carlsbad. The art instruction is amazing. The classes are tailored to different age groups; the students learn authentic techniques; and they work with live animal models, from alpacas to goats and chickens. Perrin and her teachers really know their stuff AND they know how to keep their students excited and engaged. Mine would be there all summer, but we moved away. Try one session and you’ll be hooked, too.
