Making creative connections
Welcome! Our mission is to create a space for collaboration, creation, and connection while also building skills and participating in meaningful activities that bring joy.
Services
We are excited to roll out our 2025 summer camps this June. Each week will offer a collection of projects working with a variety of materials. We will begin each class with a mindfulness drawing activity, followed by lessons and
lab time. Students will each be given a journal to bring home at the end of the week. Students will practice skills in an open-ended method and also create finished projects with targeted skills. All supplies are included.
Our June classes are currently a drop off class due to space. Students are encouraged to bring water and a snack. Please reach out if you have specific questions about your child or would like to know if a class is a fit for your child’s skill level!
Class size is limited to 10 students

mindfulness & art
Engaging in crafting and art can significantly improve health and well-being by providing opportunities for mindfulness and self-expression, both of which are essential for emotional and mental health. Mindfulness practices, which involve focusing on the present moment, activate areas of the brain that help regulate emotions, reduce stress, and improve cognitive function. Art-making, especially when it involves hands-on crafting, encourages individuals to immerse themselves in the creative process, promoting relaxation and a sense of accomplishment. These cherished occupations not only foster relaxation but also stimulate neural pathways that support resilience, emotional regulation, and overall well-being, making them powerful tools for mental health and personal growth.
