All needed supplies to produce a Kumihimo Keychain with one of the pictured charms.
2 Hours of Instruction

Accessibility:
Kumihimo is great for crafty people with hand issues like arthritis or EDS, as it requires less fine motor skills than most fiber arts.

Remember, the messier you are the more fun you are having!
This exciting and immersive six class experience encourages children to view Art as a thing that is fun, accessible, and “for them.” Enjoyment is emphasized over perfection, and every craft is carefully planned to be a unique sensory experience.
Classes meet every other Saturday from 11AM to 1PM, so you can pop out and grab some lunch in peace. Even better, sign up with your favorite mom friend and have lunch with them! All supplies are included in one low price of $150 for SIX two hour celebrations of your child’s self expression and sense of whimsy, or come for just one class for $25.
Just bring your child in paint clothes and let us guide them through their crafting experience.

9/14 Sprinkle Glitter Slime
9/28 Fall Leaf Bubble Painting
10/12 Monogram Foam Fingerpainting
10/26 Crushed Tissue Paper Mosaic

Legal and Logistical Information:
All children 6 and over are welcome.
If your child is disabled and would have a better time with some accommodations – contact us so we can work to provide them with the access they need. We love the diverse world of disability, so don’t be shy.
We use non-toxic supplies in case they get on kids skin – but we do use small items and some supplies should not be ingested, so this class is not appropriate for children who are still prone to eating art supplies.
