Children's Classes

Children's Classes: a whimsical illustration of fairies, flower-folk, and forest animals gathered around a pond

Art, craft, and handwork can be beautiful ways to meet a child more deeply, to see their imagination, their courage, their feelings, and their own way of moving through the world.

The studio offers both caregiver-child classes and drop-off classes for kindergarten-age children and older. Caregiver-child classes are a time to slow down together, sit side by side, and share the experience of making with your hands. In the middle of busy family life, this can become a meaningful pause, a space to listen, notice, support, and connect through creativity.

Drop-off classes give older children a chance to explore in a small, calm setting with thoughtful guidance and room for independence. Children may work with drawing, painting, watercolor, clay, wool, fibers, natural pigments, handmade tools, seasonal crafts, bread making, gift making, and other forms of nature-inspired handwork. Whether a child is creating beside a parent or on their own, the focus remains the same: curiosity, confidence, imagination, and the joy of making.

Classes are intentionally small, with only a few children at a time, so each child has room to feel seen and supported. For children who need a pause, there are simple toys and access to the outdoors when weather and class rhythm allow. Children may visit our sweet chickens, spend time in the fairy garden, play in the sandbox or mud kitchen, or simply sit outside and listen to the fountain and the sounds of nature.

This is a space for creativity, connection, patience, and wonder. It is a place where children can feel safe, inspired, and free to create in their own beautiful way.

All classes take place in a small, warm home studio. Materials are included and non-toxic, and natural whenever possible.

Note: Drop-off classes are offered for kindergarten-age children and older. Caregiver-child classes are available for younger children. If your child is outside the listed age range for a class but you feel it may be a good fit, please reach out by email.

We’ll make cloth napkins with natural dyes and vegetable prints, exploring the colors and patterns that can come directly from plants and food. Children will also work with wool to make a wet-felted basket, slowly shaping the soft fibers into something strong enough to hold and use. We’ll create mushroom spore-print art and discover the delicate, almost hidden patterns found underneath a mushroom. For our last class, we’ll make bread together, giving children a chance to work with their hands, shape the dough, and finish the session by making something simple and nourishing together.
