This workshop is for youth (ages 8 - 12) who LOVE art-making, inventing, crafts, and bringing their creative ideas to life resourcefully!

At this single-day SCRAP workshop, we will learn to construct our very own hand-crank operated automata. Participants will develop their own moving scene, and learn the steps to constructing a mini-machine that brings it to life! (If time permits, we'll make more than one). Learn one more new craft before the new year! 🎉

Drop off: 10:45-11am (Programming begins at 11am)
Lunch: 12:30-1pm
Pick up: 3-3:15pm (Programming ends at 3pm)

Tickets are $75 per participant for four hours of hands-on learning! Apply for a scholarship here!
