Beautiful pieces from Sunday’s Saturday’s Enameling Taster . All the pieces lovely & unique. Tasters are not just a way to sample a taste of an art form or a mini class; they can also be a way to spend some wonderful quality time with friends or family, while learning something new, and creating together as was the case this Sunday being Mother’s Day.

Among the students in my class was a family of 3 parents & their 12 yr-old because ages 12 & up can take the class with an adult. Tasters also a nice gift for your friends, family, and, of course, yourself.

🔥 Last week was a blast! 🔥

Our Youth Spring Camps were packed with creativity and serious hands-on fun. From fixing up rides in Bike Mechanics to forging steel in Blacksmithing, striking arcs in Welding, and building wild Gizmos, these young makers showed up and made it happen.

Skills were built. Confidence grew. Ideas came to life.
Summer can’t come soon enough. ✨
