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.

  • 26'-27' Club Craftsman Themes

    Fun & Games, Fantasy Land & Things That Move

    All of our clubs are based on our working philosophy that kids are built to tinker, play, create, and make meaning of their world with their hands. We give them the space, materials, tools, and guidance to do their best work. Each series give kids an opportunity to think deeply about creating objects of play through toys, games, imagination, and engineering.
