Tides & Textures · A Family Art Social · Sunday, October 18th · 10:00–11:30 AM

Some mornings are meant to be explored slowly.

Tides & Textures is a 90-minute, ocean-inspired art social created for young children and one special adult to experience together.

Families will move through thoughtfully prepared invitations using non-toxic air-dry clay, water, light, paper and mark-making materials. Children can spray, press, smooth, observe and experiment—discovering what happens when droplets travel, clay changes beneath their hands, light moves through materials and paper begins to curl and take the shape of ocean waves.

There is no single project to copy and no expected final result. Each invitation leaves room for children to follow their curiosity, revisit an idea and create something entirely their own, with their adult participating beside them.

This is more than a regular children’s class. It is a small, relaxed creative gathering where families can slow down, share the experience and connect with one another over art, coffee and light bites.

How the Morning Unfolds

Families will be welcomed into the studio and invited to explore at their own pace. Some children may spend a long time pressing textures into clay, while others may be drawn to spraying water, watching paper transform or experimenting with light and shadow.

Adults are encouraged to participate—not to direct the artwork, but to notice, wonder, create and enjoy the experience alongside their children. The morning remains flexible and responsive, allowing each family to move through the invitations in the way that feels most natural to them.

No previous art experience is needed. Come ready to explore, get a little messy and see where the materials take you.

Caregiver Participation

This is a caregiver-participation experience and is not a drop-off program or childcare service.

Each child must attend with a registered adult who remains present, participates and actively supervises the child throughout the entire event. The attending adult is responsible for the child’s safety, behavior and use of the materials, including while moving between invitations and enjoying refreshments.
