Family Craft Studio is a new intergenerational program at the Appalachian Center for Craft that occurs one Saturday a month. Kids and their grown-ups are invited to participate in this free program, which features a different craft project each month. Participants will learn craft techniques in glass, fibers, wood, clay and metals through unique and engaging projects led by Craft Center instructors. The projects are designed to engage youth and adults at various skill levels and ages, and to encourage family groups to work together. Participants will take home their projects at the end of the session, except for projects that need to be kiln-fired or annealed, like glass or clay. These projects will be available to take home later. Registration is recommended but not required. Walk-up guests will be welcomed as long as supplies last. Youth participants should be at least 6 years of age, as some of the project materials are choking hazards and/or require careful handling for participants’ safety. All minors must be accompanied by an adult.

Participants may drop in anytime between 9am and 11:30am and may leave whenever they are finished with their project, or by 12pm. All Family Craft Studio programs will happen at the Appalachian Center for Craft in the 3D Design room. Click here for a campus map.
