Recurring weekly on Wednesday

Explore Ecology Makerspace

Let your imagination take the lead at Crafternoons, every Wednesday from 2:30 pm to 4:30 pm and Saturday from 11:30 am to 1:00 pm, in the Explore Ecology Makerspace located above Art From Scrap. Join them for our artist-inspired Crafternoons, where you’ll explore creativity, sustainability, and the magic of upcycling! Each session, young makers will craft unique, eco-friendly projects using reclaimed materials while drawing inspiration from famous artists and architects.

Artful Eco Creations Include:

  • Dotted Flower Pins – Celebrate the bold patterns of Yayoi Kusama by designing vibrant wearable art pieces using upcycled materials and dot painting techniques.
  • Water Lily Collage Coasters – Take a cue from Claude Monet’s impressionist masterpieces to create dreamy, textured coasters from reclaimed paper and fabric.
  • Whimsical Towers – Build imaginative, colorful structures inspired by Antoni Gaudí using repurposed cardboard, bottle caps, and other found objects.

Come craft, create and discover the joy of artful reuse! 

Crafternoons are for kids ages 5 and up.
