About
Nonprofit arts campus since 1966
Creative Arts Center of Dallas has been running on Laughlin Drive in East Dallas since 1966 as a 501(c)(3). The campus has actual kilns, glass studios, and metalworking benches - it's one of the few places in Dallas where kids can realistically learn ceramics or jewelry making on proper equipment.
Youth and teen programs
Flexible enrollment across 4-week short courses, 6-8 week full sessions, and workshops. Programs include:
- Ceramics and pottery wheel
- Drawing and painting
- Glass fusion and stained glass
- Jewelry and metalworking
- Fiber arts
- Photography
- Teen Summer Program
What's Included
- All core studio materials and firing fees
- Working artist instructors
- Studio access with real equipment (wheels, kilns, torches)
- Nonprofit pricing (workshops from $100)
- Finished pieces go home
Experience
Because it's a nonprofit with a real campus, tuition runs well below commercial art schools. A good fit for families who want their child to learn actual craft rather than just "make something cute."
