Ah Haa Classes:

Year-Round Programming
Ah Haa School offers classes in summer, fall and winter sessions. Courses are taught by local and visiting instructors and take the form of one-to-three day weekend workshops or four-to-eight week classes that meet weekly. Each schedule reflects a core of basic fine arts and crafts classes, including ceramics, painting, and photography, as well as specialized classes like silk dyeing, the business of art, metalsmithing, and the art of cooking. The eclectic mix of courses we bring to the Telluride community has come to define the Ah Haa School and reflect our diverse surroundings. Private instruction is available on an individual basis, call 970-728-3886 to plan private instruction with one of our talented instructors (one week advance notice is required).
