About Le Petit Atelier

Why the hard to pronounce name?! Le Petit Atelier (at- all- yay) translates to “the little studio” in French, but the atelier has a much deeper meaning in education. An incredible European education system called Reggio Emilia has atelier’s in each of their schools. These atelier’s are lead by an atelierista (studio guide) who doesn’t tell the students how to create, but rather guides them to explore their own creativity with different materials and techniques.

This is the basis of Le Petit Atelier, to nurture and explore one’s own creativity as opposed to everyone creating the same art. I have been teaching art since 2009, from private studio classes to k-12 schools. I received my bachelors degree in Art from the University of Nevada, Reno in 2004.
