Here is a 5 minute overview of our FREE Kids Art Workshops series from Tinker Art Studio! Find out how this works, and how to secure art materials.
In light of the COVID-19, we temporarily closed our studio and canceled programming from March - May 2020. We started a YouTube channel to support our community by bringing art workshops right into your home during our closure!
Check out all the videos below, choose your favorites, then follow along as we complete art projects, learn new techniques, work with awesome materials, and enjoy creative time together!
If you like this idea, please like our videos and subscribe! We'll occasionally release new workshops and you won't want to miss them.
