Spark your child's creativity and introduce them to the exciting world of woodworking! In this fun and safe camp, young learners will learn basic woodworking skills while crafting their own unique projects. Instructors will cover the basics of woodworking tools (supervised) and will work with students on a variety of projects. Because these camps require a higher level of focus and dexterity, they’re only for the older kiddos, but don’t worry, we cover safety first.

Supervised Lunch / Extended Pick-Up/Drop-off: Each student enrolled in camp can sign up for supervised lunch. Bring your own lunch to enjoy between morning and afternoon camps (12pm-1pm). The fee for this add-on program is $25 per week.

This camp will be available to register at 8:00AM on Monday, February 2.

Glass fusing, also known as kiln-formed glass, involves heating multiple pieces of glass in a kiln to create a single, fused piece. It's a versatile art form with many practical and decorative applications.

Come learn and explore the basics of using glass as an artmaking medium in just a few short hours in this introductory level class and enhance your garden at the same time! We’ll provide a selection of colored glass sheets for you to use for the base of your design and other various forms of glass (frit, confetti, and stringers) you can use to really bring your design to life. Each student will complete 2-3 garden stakes that will be ready for pick up within 2 weeks of the conclusion of the class.

Whether you’re totally new to this art form, or a seasoned enthusiast, this class is for you. All are welcome!

Hearts - like glass - are prone to both melting and breaking. That's why Groundworks Art Lab's Glass Studio is the best spot for a Date Night! Bring your sweetheart, your sibling, a pal, or just yourself for this beginner-friendly class and fall in love with a new hobby. The projects and tools will vary from week to week, so you may find yourself making a set of custom glass coasters, or a fused glass suncatcher; you may even find yourself melting and reforming glass by hand with a little flame-working! No matter what the project, this class will shatter your date's expectations and you'll come away with a hand-made art piece you can cherish.
