We have 10 available spots for this week's program for youth ages 7-12. Registration for this week will open on April 1 and registration is required to reserve your child's space. Walk-ins on Saturday morning will not be accepted. This program offered with a sliding scale tuition of $0-$30 thanks to funding support from SHERPA and a variety of donors. 

Each week we will offer a unique creative project. These will be accessible to the wide range of youth attendees and will range from sewing, cooking, and creative with natural elements. There will be space for kids to explore and socialize outside of their homes and classrooms. 

Youth will be able to take each week’s project at their own pace and will be given the freedom to express their creativity through our resources. In this class, participants will be given a prethrown mug that they will have the ability to transform and decorate to their own desire. Participants can then choose a glaze color. The mug will be available for pickup 1-2 weeks after class. 

This program is suitable for kids between the ages of 7 and 12. 

New this year: Participants need to register for each individual class. Please register in advance to ensure your child(ren) has a spot in the program!
