Meet Suusa, the owner of this sweet little studio! Suusa comes from a family of artists and has worked with children for many years in many capacities. She is passionate about creating a safe, inclusive space to create for all ages. When she was a kid, she would spend time in her grandparents' house creating everything from abstract sculptures to embroidery. Building a space as welcoming and full of fun and kindness as her Oma and Opa’s house is her goal with all Poppet classes.

“I feel so incredibly fortunate to have this studio. We have an amazing team and the best community support. Hearing kids say Poppet is their favourite place while they skip out the door is the biggest reward." -Suusa

Salad spinners are a camp staple! We love this project because it is an excellent introduction to process-driven art, a core philosophy at Poppet Creative. What is process-driven art? It's the emphasis on the making of art, rather than the final outcome. This philosophy allows our students to remain open to creative intuition and reduce insecurities.

When using the spinners, kids can experiment with paint colours and amounts but have little control over the final result. This gets them to be more open to experimentation and unexpected outcomes.✨
