We are open on Saturdays & Sundays from 10 – 3. When you visit us on a weekend day, an apprentice will work with your child as they build a project and begin to experiment. Sessions last from 20 minutes to an hour. Projects change from weekend to weekend. A sampling of possible projects is available here.

Our Water Learning Lab is open on the weekends from May through October (as weather permits.) Please understand that in the summer, our available projects are much more limited because we are not producing others for school programs. We always have Pinball and Boats available however.

We meet monthly on a Friday night to play and share expertise. Bring your band of warriors, bring snacks.All are welcome.

Workshops for adults taught by Local Craftspeople, Artists, and Creative Individuals.
