Table of ContentsThe Eliot School inspires lifelong learning in craftsmanship and creativity for all. Celebrating skills and imagination, we bridge machine tools with handwork, experimentation with tradition. “Art for all” is central to our work. We believe everyone deserves access to excellent art education and the opportunity to make things by hand.

Our classes are small and welcoming. Students—of all ages—cover a range from beginners to experienced artists and artisans. Our Scholarship Fund allows children from low-income households to take classes in our schoolhouse. Preference goes to students enrolled in our school partnership program.

Our Partnership Program brings art and woodworking into Boston’s public schools and community centers. There, our instructors turn classrooms, cafeterias, teachers’ lounges and community rooms into wood shops and art rooms. This year, 2,000 students in grades K–8 will experience the pleasures of making things by hand, absorbing literacy and STEM skills in the process.

Our Teen Bridge Program brings together a select group of teens for art education, mentorship, job training and employment. This summer, sculptor Nora Valdez is our Artist in Residence. She will work with a team of our teens on a public art piece on the theme of “home.”

We invite you to join us with hammer, thimble, camera or brush. Satisfy your desire to create, enjoy the pleasures of craftsmanship—and support our work spreading “art for all” throughout Boston.

WoodworkingEach woodworking class incorporates beginners and experienced students, with new projects each session. Small classes allow for individual attention. As students gain experience, they build familiarity with tools and materials. Younger children start with hand tools and small projects. Continuing students undertake more complex projects, gaining appreciation for wood as a creative medium. Teens advance to shop etiquette, milling, joinery, layout and power tools. Teens 17 and up may join our adult classes.

All classes emphasize safety and the pleasure of making things and completing them to take home. We provide materials for small projects; for larger projects, instructors will advise students to bring their own. Some instructors allow parents to stay if they wish.

School Partnership Program

Hands-on Learning for AllWe believe all young people have the right to great art education and opportunities. Through our School & Community Partnerships, we work to increase access for all and provide in-depth arts experiences for those wanting more. We also offer training and support for teachers to achieve these goals. As the needs of our Boston communities change, so do our partnerships.

On-the-Ground InstructionAll Children Deserve Art Every WeekThrough partnerships with schools and community sites, we bring hands-on instruction to students where they are—in their communities. Through direct instruction, we reach children who may not receive art, woodworking or tinkering classes anywhere else. Our high-quality classes take place at many locations across Boston—in schools, libraries and community centers.Our programs ignite creativity, enjoyment and the pride of accomplishment as children make objects and art by hand. Our curriculum supports literacy and STEM and aligns with Common Core. We serve a broad range of learners, including English Language Learners, students with behavioral challenges and students with disabilities.This year, we are proud to teach 2,000 students throughout the city, from Kindergarten through Grade 10.

Scholarship FundEliminating Barriers to the ArtsOur Scholarship Fund eliminates financial barriers so that young people from our partner schools and community sites can take part in immersive art experiences at our schoolhouse. Some 60 students from low-income households attend our Summer Program for Children and other classes during the school year free of charge.

Art Teachers AllianceSupporting Teachers & Quality TeachingGood teaching depends on skilled, well-supported faculty. Our Art Teachers Alliance improves skills, shares resources and builds collegiality among art teachers from the Eliot School, Boston Public Schools, charter schools and community partners.We also collaborate with the Boston Public Schools Arts Office to provide professional development for BPS visual arts teachers. The program brings together teachers from across the district for workshops, classroom observations, mutual mentorship and support.

“During the woodworking unit, my 4th grade class as a whole

was very excited about the tools they would be able to use in

creating their projects and was very focused on the level of

precision required of them as they cut their wood. I saw the

entire lesson the day they were able to saw for the first time and they were all determined to get it

right. The authenticity of the project—the reality that making an error that day would mean they wouldn’t have what they needed to build—provided the

motivation necessary to support their full focus and engagement.

It was very impressive!”

Teen Bridge & Artist in ResidenceTeen BridgePathways to the FutureA dedicated group of teens from our partner schools participate outside of school time in a year-round program focused on mentorship, art instruction, job training and summer employment. We encourage these teens to develop their voice, teach them to work as art teachers’ aides and connect them with Boston-based artists and opportunities. Each year’s participants act as the next year’s leaders, shaping the program and mentoring newcomers.

Artist in Residence Next Step in Community EngagementEach year, we will select a Boston-based artist to work with our partnership and schoolhouse programs on interactive projects centered around a chosen theme. A small cohort of Teen Bridge youth will support the artist as interns during an intensive process of collaborative design, art making and community engagement. This summer, Nora Valdez, an international award-winning sculptor, will collaborate with our youth to develop a project that engages our larger community around the theme of home. In neighborhoods around Boston, people experience varieties of security and insecurity involving home. Some enjoy the safety and comforts of a stable home; others are searching for a home in an expensive landscape; still others live in temporary shelters. Some are making new homes after moving to Boston, while others have been here for generations. Through this project, Valdez and Teen Bridge youth will initiate a public dialogue by exploring these questions: What makes a place home? What makes home safe, comforting? How do we create a sense of home, claim a place as home?

“I like Teen Bridge because when you first walk in you are shy and awkward but then you start growing a bond with the others. It’s a fun and positive place to be. Everyone is really

welcoming. It’s just—positive.”7
