About our program…
The Creators’ Workshop Pillars
CREATIVITY
Because we’re made by a Creator, we create…with skill, curiosity, and a willingness to try.
We give students the tools, materials -and the courage- to bring ideas to life.
CHARACTER
Before we build with our hands, we build our hearts! Each class begins with life lessons and thoughtful conversation because who we’re becoming matters more than what we’re making.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Beautiful work begins with real skill. Rather than quick crafts, students learn genuine skills, work with real tools and quality materials, and enjoy the satisfaction of doing something well.
CONFIDENCE
When students practice virtue, build on new and existing skills, and see their ideas take shape, they begin to believe in their abilities…not just in art, but in life.

You don’t have to feel talented in these areas to join us. You don’t even have to feel creative or love every class idea. You just have to be willing to create and become better. Dieter F. Uchtdorf said, “The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create.”
VALUES AND TEACHING PHILOSOPHY:
As our world becomes more secular, we find it important to incorporate belief and goodness into everyday activities. These are not religious classes, but we love this integration, so our weekly classes begin with a short focus on character and critical thinking through stories, logic, and life lessons. Please touch base with any questions...I’m happy to chat!
