Workshops
We offer monthly workshops, which are one time teacher lead projects to celebate the coming seasons. The space is limited to 16 kids. Some are drop off workshops but parents are always welcome to stay and participate. We do have an air filter in the studio.
We are very thoughtful with the age limits for our workshops and work hard to create projects that are age appropriate. Please respect our age restrictions.
Join us for a Winter fairy house making workshop. We will be offering clay and natural seed pods and twigs and rocks and sparkly leaves and berries and sparkly snow to make little wintery house scenes.

A handmade Menorah is something to be treasured forever. There is a basic anatomy to one but also a lot of freedom in what the structure looks like. This is a two-day workshop. The first Saturday we will build the menorah from a low fire clay by forming, sculpting, twisting, rolling a menorah leave it to dry. The next Saturday we will glaze it. They will take about a week to dry fully before I will fire them in the kiln to be ready just in time to celebrate Chanukah.
Details:
- For ages 7 and up
- This is a fantastic project for ages 11-18

What’s better than a hand-made greeting card. The kids will make their own using the foam printing technique. It’s a simple colorful printing process that allows you to make many cards at a time. They can be sent to relatives, given to teachers, strung together to make a banner or hung up as an ornament.
Details:
- for kids ages 4 and up.
- Parents must stay for children ages 4 and 5
Using recycled jars we will create little wonderlands using trees and animals and ribbon and bobbles and such adding glitter and fake snow. I have great supplies but please, if you would like a certain theme (star wars, princesses) then you are welcome to bring some of your own figures to add to these scenes.
Details:
- ages 4 and up
- We will be using hot glue guns so please stay to help your child if under age 7
