1. This is process art

2. Our workshops are small

3. Your kiddo decides

4. We prioritize the planet

6. We share our creative joy

7. We are uniquely creative

Our creative play is open-ended and might look like total nonsense ("What can we make with these pool noodle slices and toothpicks?"). We're fueled by our curiosity and choices, and there's no "right way" to make art here. 

With only four to six kiddos in the studio at once, I have time to treat their ideas and their feelings with dignity. Together, we build a sense of trust – in ourselves and one another. We all belong here and each kiddo knows that they matter.

During each workshop,  kiddos can work on a solo activity, a group activity (where we learn how to "braid our ideas together"), and a sensory activity. We then clean up the studio together and end with story time.

We use materials that can be reused, recycled, or composted when we're done. We often source these from our sweet neighbours and local businesses.

Each season, we share a big collaborative creation with the elders & staff of the Manoir Beaconsfield, which is down the street from our studio. 

5. We are neuroaffirming

We offer sensory tools, dimmable lights, flexible seating, and encourage safe stimming & movement. We can co-regulate as needed. We create bridges between neurotypical and neurodivergent conversation styles. Lindsay prioritizes consent and is always listening, learning, making mistakes, and trying again.
