Children's Classes

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 parent-child classes and drop-off classes for kindergarten-age children and older. Parent-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. Parent-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.

Natural Art for Ages 2 to 4

A gentle parent-child class for young children and their caregiver. Each class begins with a short story, song, puppet show, seasonal image, or simple inspiration, followed by a calm art or handwork experience.

Children may explore watercolor, drawing, painting, wool, flowers, leaves, clay, simple natural materials, and other sensory-rich projects. The focus is not on making a perfect finished piece, but on experiencing beauty, color, texture, rhythm, and the joy of making with the hands.

Caregivers are present as steady support for the child. This class is also a time for caregiver and child to slow down together, share a creative moment, and build connection through simple, beautiful materials.

All materials are included, non-toxic, and natural whenever possible.

Children may explore watercolor, drawing, painting, clay, wool, flower hammering, simple stitching, natural materials, seasonal crafts, and other hands-on projects. The class is guided, but still open-ended, allowing each child's creativity to unfold in their own way.

Caregivers are present to support their child and share in the experience. The focus is on connection, confidence, imagination, and the quiet joy of making together.

All materials are included, non-toxic, and natural whenever possible.

Bread & Spread Making for Ages 3 to 6

A warm parent-child class where children and caregivers make bread together. Through mixing, kneading, shaping, and baking, children experience the simple joy of working with their hands and making something nourishing.

While the bread is baking, we will make a simple spread to enjoy together. At the end of class, families will share a small bun with spread, and each child will take home a small loaf of bread made during class.

Please include any allergies or dietary needs when registering, so the class can be prepared with care. If no allergies are noted, the class may include bread with gluten and dairy-based spreads.

All ingredients and materials are included and organic whenever possible.

Gift Making for Ages 3 to 6

A sweet parent-child workshop for making heartfelt gifts by hand. Children and caregivers will create simple, beautiful gifts that can be shared for birthdays, holidays, seasonal celebrations, or any time a child wants to make something special for someone they love.

Projects may include handmade cards, natural decorations, ornaments, small sewn or felted treasures, simple candles, flower crafts, and other meaningful handmade items.

These classes are a lovely way for children to experience the joy of giving, while also offering families a chance to visit the studio and try a shorter class before joining a full session.

All materials are included, non-toxic, and natural whenever possible. One caregiver may attend with multiple children, as long as each child is registered individually.
