ART studios for kids

Talk about inspiration, Meri Cherry has got it going on

 every single day, honestly cannot keep up with her! 

Honored to be included here in her pick of incredible inspired art studios for kids . 

I love looking into spaces and creative places for children. Everyone has a different vision but we all mostly have the same mission.  When I first started summer ART, carrying Eli on my hip, I had classes in my kitchen, back porch and backyard - it was perfect. It almost doesn't matter about the space, it's the energy you bring to it. 

It's about the kids and they make the space. 

We moved beehive two years ago.  At the time, it was a sad day for us as we left our spacious studio with a cute store front. We've settled into our new home  and I LOVE it. It's small and efficient. Everything has its place, it's bright and cheery. It comes with incredible sunlight and a beautiful outdoor space. It's a space for kids. 

Below is Meri's outdoor art space which I am cuckoo over. 

I want to spend the afternoon in there with her and her girls making ART.

Thank you Meri. 

beehive quilts

This is us sewing at beehive's pins and needles class.
I was inspired after my friend gave me bags of really beautiful fabric.
Many many squares, pins, back stitches and snips later.. these beautiful quilts walked out of the studio. Just in time to curl up cozy with a book!

beehive kids and their puppets

I took many many  photographs of this great group of kids, 
their mission was to crack me up with their expressions.   
We just completed an 8 week class, 
just in time to add finishing touches to their puppets. 

I also really like the way the puppets look before paint. 

Cardboard and newspaper.  Simple. 

paper weaving

ALL spring classes at beehive tried their hands at paper weaving. 
It's tricky, but once you get the hang of it...  oooooo la la!  
A beautiful collection of color and focus. 
YAY beehive kids!
