About Studio Claremont
Studio Claremont is a liberal arts studio that focuses on creating a warm, welcoming, and peaceful space for children, ages 4-18. We want all students to feel the studio is their safe, anxiety-free place to be creative and experience growth. We teach all mediums of art along with art history and the elements and principles of design to expose our students to as much as possible. We do this with the intention of broadening their horizons, developing their fine motor skills, and building a platform to understand the history of art and how to use and care for a wide range of materials. We feel everything can be taught through art and we place a large importance on instilling confidence, independence, and kindness in each of our students. Most importantly, we believe every child is an artist and we pride ourselves on creating a special experience for each and every one of our diverse students with all different abilities and skill levels.
About the Teachers
Jacque and Gabrielle Heide
Hello, I am Gabrielle Heide the owner of Studio Claremont.
Studio Claremont is the studio I've always dreamed of having, a perfect place for EVERYONE to be creative!
I received my BFA in ART from Cal State Long Beach 1986 and my teaching credential from Cal Poly Pomona in 1987. Over the last 30 years, I have taught art to students of virtually all ages, pre-school, home school, elementary, junior and senior high school, adult school, senior citizens, as well as the physically and developmentally disabled, in the Claremont and Upland Unified School Districts.
My daughter, Jacqueline Heide is also an art teacher here and graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a Bachelor's Degree in Sociology. She is currently working towards her masters degree in speech-language pathology to combine her love of art with her passion for communication.
She grew up in Studio Claremont so it's in her genes too! She is not only a great art teacher but also a gifted studio manager, ask her all the hard questions:)
WE HAVE THE BEST JOBS IN THE WORLD!!!
