Monday 04/21 Kids’ T-Shirt Design Workshop $25
Looking for a fun and creative way to spend your Monday? Let your kids dive into the world of design at our Kids’ T-Shirt Design Workshop! They’ll get to create their own personalized graphic tee that they can pick up on Friday 4/18! Kids will use their imagination to design a unique T-shirt from scratch – perfect for expressing their style and personality! Whether it’s a superhero, animal, or abstract masterpiece, kids can put their ideas onto a T-shirt they can wear proudly! Please specify your child’s T-shirt size when you bring them. T-shirts will be ordered per child after the design is completed.
Tuesday 04/22 Spin Art and More $25
Spin art is a super fun and exciting way to make colorful, swirling designs! You create it by putting a canvas into our Spinspiration Station spinning machine, and then you drop paint onto the canvas while the canvas spins. The paint spreads out in all directions, making wild, colorful patterns that are totally unique every time! To make your spin art even more awesome, after it comes out of the machine you can add glitter, colored sand, beads and more! When you sprinkle glitter onto the wet paint, it sparkles and shines, making your art look magical. And when you add beads, they stick to the paint and give your picture a cool, bumpy texture. It’s like turning your artwork into a shiny, fun masterpiece with extra details that you can feel and see! Every piece turns out different and exciting! Plus, you can get as creative as you want with all the bright colors, sparkles, and beads. It’s a great way to make art that’s fun, messy, and totally one-of-a-kind!
Wednesday 04/23 Mosaics/Sand Art $25
A finished mosaic and sand-decorated picture frame will be a textured work of art that combines the color and intricate patterns of mosaic tiles with the natural texture of sand. The arrangement of the tiles can be a repeating geometric pattern, a randomized design the choices are endless. The sand will add texture and will fill the spaces between the mosaic tiles, or you might apply it along the edges of the frame. The finished frame will have a 3D texture, with smooth tiles contrasting against the granular sand. The mosaic tiles provide color and brightness, while the sand gives the design depth and texture. Together, they create a frame that feels like an intricate artwork, not just a simple holder for a photo. You can also choose to decorate the glass and turn the whole frame into a work of art.
