Kids in Friday’s PROCESS ART made Russian nesting dolls out of felt that fit into each other like traditional wooden dolls do. Check out their expressive faces! 🪆
AFTERSCHOOL STUDIO collaged with tissue paper to make glowing candles. They began by collecting their ideas for a candle arrangement on graph paper and then cut out similar shapes for their final piece. Instead of gluing the pieces down, we sealed their collages with laminating sheets to allow more chance for light to shine through their work. Swipe through to see their finished collages vs. their initial ideas.
SKILLS LAB+ is working in collage and made these 3D paper birds. In collage you learn to turn line, texture and color into layered shapes, and you learn patience - and the limitations and possibilities of different glues! 🐦
Kids in Monday’s PROCESS ART made sun & moon wall hangings inspired by Metepec Mexican folk art. They learned the Mayan and Aztec myth of the unlikely sun god and considered their own power of light as they lead the way through the darkest part of the year. 🌞🌛

Kids in PROCESS ART made sculptures inspired by Dala Horses - a prominent folk art object and symbol from Sweden. They constructed the form from cardboard snack boxes and paper tape, then used paint pens and felt and yarn to put on the designs. 🐴
AFTERSCHOOL STUDIO practiced wrapping yarn by making blue jays!
Artists created tabletop lanterns during our PARTNER WORKSHOP this weekend as a way to celebrate the winter solstice and the holiday season. They warmed up by decorating cup lanterns with origami paper and then spent the rest of the workshop designing and assembling a cube lantern.
Star light, star bright! ⭐️✨🌟💫
Just some of the work adults are doing during OPEN STUDIO!
In STUDIO STORY this week we read “Gray” by Laura Dockrill and Lauren Child. Kids shared the times the had “all the feels” at once. The common theme was the overwhelm of mixed emotions when choosing one thing at the candy store or toy store. “Gray” is a great story that describes unconditional love and how feelings flow. You may feel gray for a bit but that the “colors” are always there. It’s a peek-through book with some cut out pages. Kids made their own peek through books and used the opportunity to paint all the colors the represent all the feels.🌈
