Looking for something fun and unique to do with the kids during this cold season? Bring the fun inside and take them to our kid stencil workshop. Underwater creatures, robots, and dinosaurs, oh my! We’ve got something for everyone to enjoy.

During this 2-hour make and take workshop adults and children will work together to screen-print their own t-shirt and tote bag. Participants get to choose from different stencils to screen print, creating their own custom piece. Their accompanying adult will assist children with the screen-printing portion of the class. Once printed, the stencil turns into a coloring project for the remainder of the class.
