  • Welcome to Craft + Lab, where we will explore, experiment, and create. This hands-on camp is designed for curious artists who love to get messy, try new things, and bring their big ideas to life.

    Appropriate clothes - Art can be messy and we fully intend to get messy, so be sure to wear the appropriate attire (just not your most favorite clothes in case we get a little extra messy one day).

    Walking Shoes on Wednesdays - We will be taking a field trip on Wednesdays, so good walking shoes will be necessary.
