Make It Together: Art Time!
with Isabel Alff
A creative workshop series for young artists and their grown-ups. Make art and memories together in this joyful, hands-on series designed for children and their caregivers. Each week, we’ll explore a new open-ended art activity that invites collaboration, experimentation, and connection. Through playful projects using painting, printmaking, clay, collage, and more, grownups and kids will create side-by-side—and sometimes hand-in-hand.
Workshops are designed to engage early learners while giving adults a chance to slow down and enjoy the creative process, too. Whether you're stamping, sculpting, or painting a shared masterpiece, each session is an opportunity to explore new materials in a warm, welcoming environment.
