About Us
The Art Factory is a studio workspace for students of all ages in the beautiful forest setting of the historic Redwood Village in Aptos. Under the guidance of founder and instructor Yvette Contois and with the collaboration of professional artists and educators, The Art Factory aims to:
- Foster a comfortable environment for anyone who has ever wanted to try out a new medium;
- Provide a space for the exploration of an ongoing art practice;
- Encourage creativity, prioritizing the process of experimenting with different art media, disciplines and techniques;
- Host your special event in a creative, charming environment. Your event will be customized to be as unique as the individual being celebrated.
- Provide children with memorable Weekly Art Classes & Art Camp experiences, year-round!
- Adults can arrange for evening studio work time, join small group classes or schedule individual tutorials. Children will love our special art days and weeklong summer art and science camps (half and full day schedules), exploring everything from printmaking to physics to paper-mâché.
