Young Makers

Ages 4 - 8

On Hiatus until September, 2023

Invite your children to explore process art and open-ended building projects. Parent attendance is required. Projects are offered with an invitation to create. Students stay with the project (and return as necessary) as long as their interest remains. Many projects encourage multiple steps with drying time breaks between them.

Linkage Submarine Square

Kinetic Engineering

On Hiatus until September, 2023

Light it up, fling it far, watch it move. Learn about basic mechanisms while having the freedom to create based on your interests. 6- and 7-year-old students will need to have a parent on-site for the duration of this class.

Stop Motion Square

Stop Motion Animation

Ages 8 - 15

On Hiatus until September, 2023

Video Storytelling has become a must in today's society. We use stop-motion animation to teach fundamentals of storytelling with an emphasis on Fun! Each week introduces a concept for beginning students to work through and produce their unique animations. As students progress through the levels, we'll work on storyboarding their ideas, creating characters and scenery, and producing a full animation short of their own.

TinkerSpace Artists' Workshop

Ages 9 - 15

On Hiatus until September, 2023

Use upcycled materials, discover new techniques that translate from project to project, explore the possibilities of both free form and precision layout, experience the artistic process, all while making personal art. Abstract, realistic, or whimsical creations, what you make is up to you. Each week, we'll have a short lesson on a particular technique, material, or artist. Make one of our projects to explore the new idea or take off on your own project. We emphasize best practices while giving you the freedom to create your imagination.
