I’ve loved having access to Tinker Camp’s studio/makerspace, materials, and tools for my own painting, framing, and other art-making projects. I want to be able to extend that opportunity to other Tinker Camp participants and the neighborhood community at large by sharing the studio for art making. Come use the Tinker Camp studio and materials for your own projects — gifts, art experiments, or just creative play. I’ll be there working on my own pieces, so feel free to join in, hang out, or get inspired. Snacks included!

Create a model of your teeny, tiny world so everyone can see with Tinker Camp, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting STEAM education in your community. Use cool materials and tools to design and build a small scale version of whatever you discovered. Tiny rooms in a teeny house? A pint-sized playground? A miniature amusement park?
