TWEEN + TEEN STUDIO
A creative studio just for older kids.
Wednesday, October 28 | 5:30–7:00 PM
$20 | Middle School + Up
With Ms. Lola
LEGO minifigures. Smiski. Tiny animals. Cars. Dinosaurs. Game pieces. Trinkets. Random little objects you’ve collected and love.
Bring them to the studio!
In this Teen Studio workshop, we’ll turn your favorite little things into a one-of-a-kind plaster cast collage.
You’ll arrange your collection into a composition, create a mold, and cast your design in plaster. Then we’ll break out the paints to bring your piece to life! Go bold and colorful, highlight your favorite details, keep it monochromatic, or leave some of that beautiful raw plaster showing.
What to Bring:
Bring 5–10 small toys, figures, or trinkets that represent what you’re into right now. Choose objects you’re comfortable using in the mold-making process and leave anything especially valuable or irreplaceable at home.
We’ll provide the plaster, mold-making materials, paints, tools + everything else you need.
No experience needed. Just bring your favorite little things and come make something cool.
Space is limited for this workshop, so be sure to register early to save your spot!

A little metal, a few tools, and a whole lot of creative possibilities.
For this Teen Studio, we’re exploring tin embossing, a technique that uses simple tools to press patterns, illustrations, and textures into thin sheets of metal.
Create a collection of embossed pieces to turn into a hanging mobile, design a piece of wall art, or come up with something completely your own.
We’ll have plenty of templates and inspiration to get you started, but you’re welcome to bring your own drawings, images, or designs to work from. Think favorite characters, symbols, nature, patterns, or whatever you’re into right now.
Ms. Lola will guide you through the tools and techniques, then give you the freedom to experiment with your own ideas.
All materials + tools provided. No experience needed.
Come with an idea or discover one while you’re here!

One paper lantern. Endless possibilities.
For this Teen Studio, we’re transforming simple 12-inch paper lanterns into something completely our own.
Create a glowing creature, a colorful sculptural piece, a dreamy hanging decoration, or something inspired by your favorite characters, games, or imaginary worlds.
We’ll have an assortment of papers, paints, embellishments, and other materials to help you bring your ideas to life. Experiment with color, texture, layering, and three-dimensional details as you turn your lantern into a one-of-a-kind creation.
Ms. Lola will be there with inspiration, techniques, and guidance, but you get to decide what your lantern becomes.
Each participant will receive their own 12-inch paper lantern, and we’ll provide all the materials + tools needed.
No experience necessary. Just bring your imagination and come make something cool!

A little personality for your favorite bag!
For this Tween + Teen Studio, we’re diving into the world of custom bag charms. Think colorful paracord, letter beads, fun charms, and all sorts of little details that make your creation completely your own.
Spell out your name, add your initials, represent your favorite things, or just mix together colors, textures, and charms that make you happy.
Ms. Lola will introduce different knotting, assembling, and design techniques, then give you the freedom to experiment and create something that feels like you.
Clip your finished creation onto your backpack, purse, keys, or anywhere that could use a little extra personality. Make something for yourself or create a one-of-a-kind gift for a friend!
We’ll provide an assortment of letters, paracord, charms, tools + all the materials you need.
No experience needed. Just bring your ideas and come make something cool!
Limited spots available. Register early to save yours!
Winter Art Camp
Three Days of Making, Exploring + Creative Fun!
December 28, 29 + 30
Ages 5–12
For the first time ever, we’re bringing a little camp magic to winter break!
Three days filled with creativity, experimenting, making new friends, and getting wonderfully messy—all while school is out for the holidays.
Our Winter Art Camp is packed with hands-on projects and opportunities for kids to explore different art forms, learn new techniques, and let their imaginations run wild.
We’ll be making plaster creations, experimenting with tin embossing, decorating paper lanterns, designing personalized bag charms, and so much more!
Some projects will be guided, while others will leave plenty of room for kids to follow their own ideas. We love giving young artists the tools, materials, and encouragement to experiment, problem-solve, and discover what they can create.
And of course, camp wouldn’t be camp without the people who make it so much fun!
Kids will spend their days creating, laughing, and exploring alongside Ms. Kasie, Ms. Lola, helper Addy + Ms. Whitney!

YES, WE’RE MAKING ART
But we’re practicing so much more.
Learning to trust an idea and make creative decisions independently.
Confidence
Identity
Developing a creative voice and discovering, This is how I make.
Discovering that something not working the first time doesn’t mean you’ve failed—it means you have another problem to solve.
Resilience
Creating alongside other young people who are curious, imaginative and excited to make things, too.
Belonging
Figuring out how materials work, adapting an idea and finding a way forward.
Critical Thinking
Parents have shared with us that they’ve watched their children’s confidence grow through our programs.
And some have shared something we value just as much:
Their child has found their community here.
That’s what we hope this studio can become.
