What are 'Creative Flow' Open Studio Hours?
Regular, unstructured studio drop-in hours, where our space, supplies, and equipment are available for your use. Spend your morning, afternoon, or evening in our cozy space, working on your projects, at your pace. Take a break from the ‘real world’ and immerse yourself in the art studio - it is truly a magical space where anything is possible.
"Creative Flow" hours that are primarily reserved for adults, older kids, or parents working closely alongside their kids (aka, calm, controlled, relaxed rather than loud/chaos :). If you want childlike whimsy and energy, check out our Kid's Zone! open studio hours.

The Activities
Our Standard Craft Pass Seat includes access to ALL of our basic craft supplies! This includes things like scissors, paper, ribbon, yarn, pencils, crayons, markers, paints*, pipe cleaners, pom poms, buttons, popsicle sticks, beads, glue, tape, stickers, and more!
*Canvases sold separately. But with the craft pass, you
can use paints on paper/cardboard/etc., to your heart's content! Clay also sold
separately but available for hand-building projects! Keep reading for info on
the pottery wheel.
We have 2 well-used pottery wheels, ready for you to explore the art of clay on your own time, self-guided. We won't provide instruction on the wheel - it is here for you to use for your own exploration with the craft. Maybe you've taken a throwing class before, watched some YouTube videos, or are a pro but don't have space for a wheel in your home. We've got you covered! We will have a small kiln in the studio, so there are some restrictions for the size of clay pieces that we can fire. Standard sized pots/bowls/mugs will fit no problem. We've also got a large selection of glazes! Clay will be sold separately and priced to include the cost of glazes and firings. If you want to do clay hand-building work - just book a craft pass.
We have a sewing machine! Similar to the pottery wheel, this is meant to be available for your use, but you should already know how to sew. We will require you to thread your own needle and bobbin as a proficiency test :). We don't have a ton of threads or fabric in the studio at this point, so we welcome you to bring your own supplies! If there is interest, we can begin to stock more supplies, depending on the demand.
We
have an old Cameo Silhouette cutter, but have just replaced the blade, and have
been using it to make stencils - but there are so many things you can do with
this machine! We are not pros, so we definitely don't have the skills to teach
you, but we welcome you to hone your skillset and maybe even teach us a trick or
two! We don't have a dedicated computer for this machine yet, so you will have
to bring your own laptop with the cameo software installed (there's a
free version!). Learn more here: https://kellyleighcreates.com/how-to-use-the-silhouette-cameo-4-getting-started/

- How Many People? If you want to share a pottery wheel or sewing machine, please book a standard 'craft pass' for your buddy(ies).
- What time? Only Sunday will have 2 time blocks to choose from. Our appointments are all 2-hours, but you do not have to stay the full 2 hours. You can come any time during your time block, and if the next session is not full, you are also welcome to stay beyond your time block. We just want a general idea of timing, for crowd control, but we are not super rigid on the schedule.
