Y.A. Creative Club: Arts & Crafts

Calling all artists, writers, crafters, and creatives! Join us each week for YA Creative Club, where tweens and teens can try out fun creative projects, learn new writing skills and artistic techniques, share their work, and make new creatively-minded friends. The focus of our sessions alternates between “Poetry & Prose” and “Arts & Crafts.” During our “Poetry & Prose” sessions, we'll discuss exciting topics related to creative writing and do some writing of our own! During our “Arts & Crafts” sessions, we'll experiment with a variety of materials to create new works of art that you can take home at the end of the day! Whatever our focus, each session is suitable for creatives of all skill levels, from beginners to artistic pros. New and returning members are always welcome at YA Creative Club! (Ages 11-18)
