Children will work with hammers, nails, wood, and glue (all provided). They should bring found objects to class, such as small mirrors, springs, broken jewelry, clocks, stones, etc.

They will build three-dimensional constructions from class to class, as their first attempts inspire new ideas for additions and changes.

Children will be encouraged to title their finished work, and there will be a mini-exhibition for parents and siblings at the end of the last class.


This class can be registered for per day at $50 per day
