Noticing…
Wednesday, December 21, 2016
We enjoyed a busy day with a field trip visit from CVUSD’s Winter campers, our 2 4 1 deal day creators and a sewing class too.
In the bustle of it all I caught a glance of this little guy; a happy snowman made of unusual stuff but sweeter because of it.

Foam dough was a hit this morning with the messy crew. Shaving cream and corn starch made a curious and satisfying combination for endless playful exploring.
Gifts!

We had a fun and festive field trip morning with the K/1 kids from O.P.E.N. Classroom of Thousand Oaks.
They made personalized holiday ornaments and keepsakes of their own designs for family and friends from wood blocks and such.
Girls Club Rules!
Thursday, December 15, 2016
We had our last Girls Club class of the fall series today. It’s been heartwarming to spend weeks of Wednesdays with this great group of young ladies. They bonded, befriended, supported, discovered, explored, created and grew into more of who they are meant to be. confidence is finding your you.

A new life…
Wednesday, December 14, 2016We go through a lot of markers at the studio so a few years ago we started talking them apart to make reusable materials at the studio! We get 5 different usable pieces out of one dried marker!
This batch is getting a bath from all its first use wear and tear.
Up until recently we showcased a “Weekly WOW” creation when it became clear that there were way more WOWS than weeks.
When creativity is expressed, its inevitably awesome every time.
This lil Martian is case in point.
