More Information

We approach this class as if we are teaching a life skill as a part of our Art of Life Program.  This skill set will follow the student for his or her entire life. We are very deliberate in our approach to teaching. We foster independence and teach the students the fundamental skill of caring for themselves. This class encourages self-confidence and positive self-care, teaches healthy choice-making and builds skills that work toward independence and a successful future. 

We use tools that are safe and simple to use and meals that are easy to recreate safely at home. The basics class uses tools such as electric skillets, electric griddles, crock pots, and air friers.  This allows the student to learn how to prepare food without the dangers that may happen for beginners at home. 

Our goal is that the student will be able to manage this task independently and without parental or adult supervision. 

Registration is required at least 3 days in advance of each class to allow us to order fresh ingredients and to ensure each student has access to all needed supplies.  Each class is approximately 1.5-2 hours long. The cost of each class is $65. Classes must be paid in advance. Fees are non-refundable and non-transferable.

We offer direct billing for any OWDD organizations who offer it. Contact us at info@stilettosfineartsstudio.com for more details.
