Whether your child is a beginner or already loves making art, these classes are designed to ignite creativity, spark imagination, and help young artists explore a wide range of artistic techniques.
Meet the Artist: Beverly Mihelich
Born in a small town in southeast Texas, Beverly Mihelich—known fondly as Bev—brings a lifetime of experiences and creativity to her teaching. From her nomadic childhood to her years of service in the military, Bev has collected a treasure trove of cultural insights and skills that she weaves into her art and lessons. Settling in Kings Creek, NC, in 2004, Bev found a home for her passion for the arts and teaching.
With a BFA in Fiber Art from the University of Hawaii at Manoa and a wide range of skills that include everything from embroidery and leather tooling to metalworking and jewelry making, Bev has become a true multimedia artisan. Her philosophy is simple yet inspiring: “My true love is creating adornments for both animate and inanimate objects.” Bev’s classes invite students to explore various materials—new and recycled—to bring their own creative visions to life.
What to Expect from Mixed Media Classes
Our youth mixed media art classes are designed for students ages 5-18, giving them the opportunity to experiment with a variety of art forms, including drawing, painting, fabric art, sculpture, and more! Each class is tailored to fit the students’ skill levels and creative interests, allowing them to explore different mediums and techniques while having fun. Bev’s teaching style encourages experimentation and embraces a “there’s no wrong way” approach to creating art.

Why Mixed Media?
Mixed media art is all about exploring different materials and techniques to create something unique. From paper and paint to string, yarn, beads, and more, students will have the freedom to combine various elements into their artwork. This approach helps young artists develop their creativity, problem-solving skills, and ability to think outside the box. It’s a fantastic way for kids to express themselves, discover new art forms, and gain confidence in their abilities.
