WEEKEND CLASSES
Join us for weekend makering classes! Our 2 hour classes are held on Saturdays and Sundays, with a morning and afternoon session each day. Each weekend class includes an ambitious, age-appropriate, and fun maker project, which could include crafts, art, gardening, cooking, design, science, music, life skills, sewing, carpentry, or a combination of these.
Each project incorporates the safe use of various tools, integrates upcycled materials through a range of creative techniques, and promotes the development of life skills. Each project is demonstrated using best practices, while individual creativity is celebrated. We close each class by cleaning up the Makerspaces and reflecting on the day.
