I'm hosting workshops where kids can make things. They make the art and participate in a lot of the printing/transfer process.

What To Expect:

Your child will select a product first. Then, they will draw a picture that they want printed on that product, and I will scan in that picture when they are done.

  • Laser cutter projects (coasters, cutting boards): I will send it to the laser cutter upstairs. If your child wants, they may come inside and watch it start.

  • Sublimation projects (ornaments, mugs, water bottles, bags): I will print it out with special sublimation ink and paper. Sublimation is heat + pressure activated ink that infuses into the bottle/mug/bag. I will show them the transfer process, or they can help with a lot of it.

Will we get the items same day?

I think we will probably be able to have everything done the same-day, but the laser cutter projects can sometimes take longer.

For sublimation, transfer takes about 5 - 10 minutes.

While they wait, they can play with Legos or in the front yard.

Do they need to stay the whole time?

No, they can come late or leave early.

Cost:

Free to attend and draw. You pay for what products you make.

What products can I make?

You can make almost any of the products in my shop, including mugs, water bottles, cutting boards, charcuterie boards, and puzzles.

Can I drop off my child or do I need to stay?

We don’t have additional supervision, but if you feel your child is okay without you, you don’t need to stay. Please pick out what products you want to purchase when you drop off, and leave your phone number.

If we can’t come, can we just send you the drawing?

Yes, feel free to scan it in or drop it off.

Can I bring a drawing or photo instead of making one there?

Yes, but we might need to crop or resize the drawing, leaving some white gaps on the bottle / mug after. (Our paper will be sized to be the perfect size to wrap around properly.)

Can I add text to my drawing?

Yes! I will show your child the drawing after I scan it, and they can add text (for example, their name, or a fathers day message).

Do these have to be for Holidays?

They can be for anything!
