Kids' Art: Ornaments & Gift Tags

About this event

Make this holiday season extra merry with a workshop filled with creativity, laughter, and hands-on fun! In this festive class, kids ages 7–12 will dive into the joy of artmaking while creating their very own set of holiday treasures. Each child will design three handcrafted ornaments and a personalized gift tag. These projects are perfect for decorating a tree, adding charm to holiday décor, or gifting to someone special. Every piece will carry the warmth of their imagination and the pride of being made by hand. During the workshop, children will explore a variety of artistic techniques. They’ll paint, cut, collage, and experiment with mixed media. They’ll also see inspiring examples of ornament styles and design ideas. These samples are meant to spark creativity, not limit it. With plenty of choices, every child will have the freedom to put their own unique spin on each project. The result is artwork that feels personal, meaningful, and one-of-a-kind. This is a guided experience, but it is never rigid. Our instructor encourages play, exploration, and confidence-building. Kids are free to try new ideas, combine different materials, and express their individual style. Because all supplies are included, families don’t need to bring anything except energy and holiday cheer. And best of all, no prior art experience is necessary. Beginners are welcome, and every participant will leave with projects they can feel proud of. Most importantly, the workshop isn’t just about the final ornaments – it’s about the joyful process of creating. Kids will share in the spirit of the season, make memories, and build keepsakes that will last for years. This holiday class is more than an art activity. It’s a chance to celebrate together, to embrace imagination, and to make the holidays shine a little brighter. Ages 7 – 12
