June 2026 Fri 19 Young Creators: Art Lab – Create Together June 19 @ 1:00 pm – 4:00 pm The 815 Artisan Collective 126 W Lincoln, Belvidere, IL, United States This hands-on art and craft experience is designed for kids and their grown-up to create side-by-side. This special workshop is priced per pair, so both the child and parent participate together — learning new skills, exploring different materials, and making something beautiful to take home. Each month features a brand-new project and technique. One session might have you designing a small faux stained glass piece with vibrant colors and crisp outlines. Another month could bring decoupage, where you’ll layer papers and seal them into a keepsake piece. You might knot a macramé plant hanger, shape imaginative creations from air-dry clay, or experiment with other creative mediums throughout the year. All supplies are included, and each session is thoughtfully guided with step-by-step instruction while still allowing room for creativity and personalization. No prior experience is needed — just come ready to learn, laugh, and make memories together.
