In this hands-on art club, kids will have access to a wide variety of arts and crafts materials, tools, and textures each week. From paint and paper to recycled bits, fabric, wire, and more—every session is an invitation to explore, invent, and make something uniquely their own. With creative prompts to spark ideas and a supportive instructor to help guide their process, students are free to experiment, tinker, and express themselves in a relaxed, imaginative environment. Whether they’re building, drawing, gluing, or sculpting, Maker Club is all about the joy of creating without pressure—where the process matters more than the final product. Perfect for curious minds who love to explore and make art in their own way!

Early dismissal day? Turn it into a rock concert! Bring your creativity and join us for a half-day art camp where music and art collide. Campers will build a one-of-a-kind boom box from recycled materials, decorative paper, and plenty of imagination. They'll create a bold rock star self-portrait that captures their own big personality, and design wearable jewelry to complete their signature look.

Friday, October 30 - Woodland Wonders: A Harvest Art Camp
11:30am-3:00pm in the MAC Theater & Studio (3.5 hours)

Early dismissal day? Come gather with us in the studio for a cozy afternoon of fall-inspired art! Campers will celebrate the season by making nature-themed crafts to wear, display, and take home.

In one creative session, campers will design a nature crown fit for a woodland king or queen, using leaves, feathers, and autumn colors. They'll craft a charming squirrel in a tree scene, complete with bushy tails and ground covered in fall foliage. They'll also create beautiful watercolor leaf prints, discovering how real leaves can become colorful works of art.

About the Instructor
Aylin Cetik worked as an instructor at Children’s Art lab in Mattapoisett and has taught numerous workshops. She believes that the process a young artist goes through when creating something new is more important than the quality of the finished product. Aylin earned her degree from New England School of Photography.

Art + Play (Ages 2-5)
Mondays, 9:30-10:30am in the MAC Studio (ages 2-5)

Art+Play
returns to the MAC! We practice process art, which is a playful and explorative approach to creating. Here, the journey is more important than the final product. We believe children learn best through hands-on exploration and experimentation with a variety of materials and techniques. Each class offers several creative opportunities, empowering your child to make their own choices and work at their own pace. We hope to see you there!
