Taught by a variety of skilled educators and professional artists, your child will explore seasonal crafts, celebrating Winter through a variety of mediums such as woodworking, ceramics, textiles, glass and more. Along the way, we’ll make fun, high-quality crafts kids can take home. Our projects are geared to build and hone skills such as hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills, creativity, comprehension + exploration of a variety of materials. Projects and depth of craft exploration are matched up to the child’s age and ability. It’s important that your child bring water in a refillable bottle and a snack (no candy or peanut products please) in case they are hungry or thirsty during this time. In addition, if your child is enrolled in a nearby camp elsewhere in Liberty Station, and they’re camp is ending as ours begins, we are happy to walk your child from their camp to the studio. If you’d like your camper to stay during the lunch hour, there’s a $20 fee for the week to cover the lunchtime gap from 12 p.m.-1p.m. They can bring a lunch and have lunch with us with the option to do a fun craft after lunch. • Scholarships available • Military and sibling discounts
