Get ready to take your creativity to the next level! In this class designed especially for kids ages 7 to 12, we’ll dive deep into a colorful world of design, detail, and hands-on fun. This age group is ready for more—and we’re here for it with projects that are more intricate, more elaborate, and tailored specifically to their growing skills and unique interests. From personalized bracelet stacks and keychain chain stories, to over the top fairy gardens, sparkling ornaments, and fully bedazzled picture frames, each project is designed to stretch imagination and build confidence. We’ll explore storytelling and techniques like pattern building, color blending, layering, and mixed-media crafting to take their creations beyond the basics. Whether they’re experimenting with new techniques or designing something straight from the heart, this class is all about helping kids discover what they can create when given the tools, freedom, and inspiration to go further.
