Recurring weekly on Wednesday, Saturday

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 above Art From Scrap. Join them for their May Crafternoons: Tinker Lab, where creativity meets sustainability!

This month, work on creative machines that jump, fly, and walk with reclaimed materials. Perfect for all ages and skill levels, these eco-friendly projects encourage kids to craft purposefully while having a blast.

Craft for the Earth Projects include:

  • Jack & Jill Jumpers – Craft classic pull-string jumping jack toys using reclaimed paper and brads—watch their arms and legs spring to life with a tug!
  • Marionettes – Create your own characterful puppets using upcycled materials, string, and imagination—then bring them to life with a tug of a string!
  • Upcycled Aviators – Build playful airplanes from repurposed bits and bobs, and let your creativity take flight!
