Come relax and be creative in our Community Art Studio! Every Saturday, from 10am-12pm, we will provide the space and supplies for you and your family and friends to enjoy a making activity. Directions and an example will be provided for each activity, as well as a staff member to answer questions. Please plan on staying with your children, as this is not a drop-off class. These activities are free, suitable for all ages, and come and go. The projects will change monthly.

June's Community Art Studio project would make a whimsical and crafty Father's Day gift. Come help us trim down our egg carton supply and make a beautiful, colorful fish on a string for Dad or Grandpa. This craft is suitable for all ages, though count on helping younger hands with the carton cutting. If you want to see how it's done before you come in, here's a link to our instructional Creative Classroom video.
May's Community Art Studio project would make a great Mother's Day gift! Come and explore our beautiful wallpaper samples to make a paper vase for a Mother's Day (or May Day) bouquet. We will have embroidery thread and ribbon for embellishment. *You'll need to use your own plastic or glass bottle to slip inside your vase to make it functional.
