The gift that keeps on giving.  

​Handmade gifts are the best. They encompass love and kindness and can make time stand still for just a little while.

Do you have anyone you’d like to gift? Come make something special with us. You are sure to make their day.

Inspiration is everywhere!

This wigwam at the Satwiwa Center in Newbury Park reminds me of smaller scale creations recent field trip students made for their Indian studies. There is nothing like a hands-on process to deepen learning. 

We love having schools visit us for field trips where they can have a fun hands-on experience to connect to their classroom  learning.

Crafrternoons

We are excited to begin our ongoing series of Crafternoon workshops on Friday afternoons at CReATE for kids age 6 and up.

Each week we’ve got a different hands on crafty project to explore and make.

Today we are making little Fimo Clay Charms of all sorts to take and bake!

Join us from 3:30-5pm $15 per creator See you this Crafternoon!

So Pretty!

This hot glue painting has me smitten.

 I just came across this image from one of our Summer Pinspired Night projects. This project had such easily pleasing results so we’ll have to do it again sometime- how about this Friday night! We have canvases on our project line-up. Keep it pretty or make it spooky, the fun thing about our Pinspired Nights is our Pinterest project picks can go any way you choose!

Join us Friday night for Pinspired Fun and make something that is uniquely you. 7-10pm $25 per person createstudiofun.com/celebrate/pinspired/

Boo!

In the spirit of Halloween fun, come into the studio and make a Boo Bag!

Boo Bags are small bags with Halloween flair that you fill with candy and a paper ghost then leave oat a friend’s door without them knowing. 

It’s a fun activity to do in your neighborhood. Once a person has been booed they can post their paper ghost in a window so they don’t get booed again! 

Watch as paper ghosts go up in your neighborhood as you boo them.

Something to think about.

“Create fun things, your life depens on it.” Unknown

There’s a certain amount of truth to this statement. Books like The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert would attest to the notion that we must create. Our souls vitality needs this self expression . Our contribution to the world asks for us to be creative in solving problems and helping others.Yes, our loves depend on it.

Creativity is our cup of tea at CReATE, it’s why we open our doors every day. We believe creativity is for all to express and share. It’s art fun and more for everyone!

Community

We LOVE being part of our community. One of the ways we show our love is by supporting area schools and their fundraising efforts to provide the best they can for our children.

Thanks to our awesome school community. You help shape our kids into the great people they are set to become ♡

We are always happy to provide a gift certificate to a school for a playdate at CReATE where creativity is the name of the game and exploration is key. Contact us to support your next fundraiser. We are happy to help.

 

Inventing

Planning is key. Brookside 5th graders know how to get the task accomplished from learning and planing at achool to making at CReATE.

We saw first hand the rewards of project project based learning. The students were thoughtful, energized, collaborative, and considerate. They are kids and kids are smart.

This is the stuff of leaders in the making.
