Family friendly with adult supervision. Tickets are per family.
Spend some creative quality time exploring different Maker themes with our all-inclusive Family Date Nights. We'll take care of your dinner or lunch plans and show you some cool hands-on projects.
Family Events are meant to include a variety of school age children-- younger children need more adult help, while older kids can take the lead on projects.
Upcoming Events:
Sunday, March 26, noon-3pm
Family Casting
Create a touching keepsake as you plunge your entwined hands into an alginate mold and make a plaster casting of your hands to take home. Our resident sculptor will show you tricks for making your plaster break-resistant, making a good mold, and pro tips for you to explore more at home. Event includes one project kit.
Monday, April 10, 6-8pm
Color Tricks
Explore the science behind Thermochromic pigments (heat sensitive) & Photochromic pigments (UV or sunlight sensitive) as we make a couple take-home projects. Optional: if you want to do a personal color-change shoe project instead of the provided project, bring your own clean white shoes, or clean shoes with white spots you want to color-change.
Saturday, April 22, 4-7pm
DIY STEM Suds
Roll up your sleeves for some clean DIY as we create a few different variations of hand-made soap! We'll explore squishy soap, glycerine gem soap, and even some mold-making using laser cut pieces and our vacuum former for a custom mold you can use to make some more fun at home. Event includes material for one of each type of soap and one mold sheet. Additional sets available for purchase below.
