Open Studio

Thursdays, 4:00–5:30 PM
Ages 7–12

Drop-In Registration

Open Studio is a welcoming creative space for young artists who simply want more time to make.

Some artists arrive with an idea they've been imagining all week. Others discover their inspiration after exploring the studio. With a thoughtfully prepared selection of quality materials, creative prompts, and gentle guidance, artists are free to follow their curiosity, experiment, solve problems, and create at their own pace.

Children might paint, draw, sew, sculpt, build, work in a sketchbook, experiment with mixed media, or return to a project over several visits. There is no expectation that everyone will make the same thing. Instead, artists are encouraged to pursue their own interests, trust their ideas, and enjoy the creative process.

Open Studio is also a wonderful choice for a creative playdate. Friends can register for the same afternoon, create alongside one another, share ideas, and enjoy the simple pleasure of making together.

Because Open Studio is offered as a drop-in experience, families can join whenever it fits their schedule. There is no weekly commitment, making it an easy way to weave creativity into family life. It is also a wonderful companion to Junior ART CLASS or ART CLASS for artists who would enjoy extra studio time to develop personal projects and work more independently.

At Dot to Dot, we believe children benefit from having unhurried time to create. Open Studio offers something that can be hard to find in a busy week: a warm, inspiring place where children can slow down, follow their curiosity, build confidence, and experience the quiet joy of making something that is entirely their own.

Whether an artist visits once or returns again and again, our hope is that Open Studio becomes a place where they feel welcome, known, and excited to create.

At Dot to Dot Art Workshop it is our mission to provide an inspiring space where we can make connections within our community through the art experience. We favor the “process art” approach to teaching and make it a priority to emphasize the importance of learning and enjoying the process, rather than focusing on the outcome. All art experiences are designed to ensure children will have fun while developing creative thinking skills, fine motor skills, perseverance, and cultural awareness.
Connect and think out of the box at Dot to Dot Art Workshop!
