This winter we’re changing it up in the Family Studio, and letting imagination be our guide. We’ll still offer kids and their families with free space to develop their art-making skills by offering inspiration and ideas for projects, but we’re also giving folks the option to flex their creative muscles and work with the tools and materials provided to make something unique. We’ll introduce different materials every two weeks by upcycling the stuff we have a lot of – a skill you can continue to build at home with items you might once have overlooked. Inspired by the wealth of styles, ideas and ways of making found in Time Isn’t Real, our Family Open Studio is a place to try out new ideas and make something unexpected!
We’re bringing papermaking back due to popular demand! We’ll show you how to recycle shredded paper into gorgeous handmade sheets that are perfect for a special card or letter. Adding some flower petals, seeds or tiny coloured paper scraps makes each page even more exciting.
Please Note:
This program is meant for families to work together on art projects, so all children attending must be accompanied by an adult. Drop in any time between 1-4pm in the Family Studio. Space is limited to about 30 folks, and is available on a first-come, first-served basis. While in the studio, please be mindful of other families wishing to participate!
While you're here, you can check out our exhibitions and look for treasures on our Take + Make Cart! This cart, located just outside the Family Studio, is full of previously-loved art supplies. Take what you like and leave what you can, we're always accepting donations of art tools and supplies you're not using anymore.
