Maker Time!
We'll bring all the tools, materials, and know-how each week.
Creative work in the afterschool space
Creative activities in school have been shown to improve student attendance, mental health, and overall acadeic performance. Also it's really fun to make stuff.
We take the creative work of childhood seriously and we have a great time doing it.
Our organization works with a talented group of experienced arts educators to provide unique maker workshops for all ages. For more than eight years, we've partnered with schools and local institutions to provide creative enrichment programs that are fun, engaging, and help kids build community, self-sufficiency, resiliency and creative problem solving skills. Our programs can be adapted to varying abilities and community needs.

Club Craftsman
Are you a creative kid? Yes?! Then this club is perfect for you!
Craftsman & Apprentice After School Club (aka Club Craftsman) invites kids to dive into creativity, craftsmanship, and hands-on exploration. Inspired by the Craftsman & Apprentice approach and our most beloved projects, this program provides a welcoming space where students use real tools and materials to bring their ideas to life. From woodworking and sewing to recycled art and toy building, each session introduces new techniques while encouraging experimentation and self-expression.
Students will practice essential maker skills, including problem-solving, collaboration, design thinking, and resilience. Each week features a guided project, such as building things that move, crafting with natural materials, or inventing simple games. Children are also free to explore their own ideas, working independently or collaboratively with their peers.
With a focus on process over perfection, the club helps students gain confidence, develop fine motor skills, and learn how to care for tools and materials responsibly. Reflection and sharing at the end of sessions enable kids to celebrate successes, troubleshoot challenges, and learn from each other. This program offers students a joyful opportunity to imagine, build, and create in a supportive community of makers.
