Traditional Hand Crafting Workshops For Connecticut Children Ages 8-18!

All workshops held on the Craft Center Campus, located on the beautiful Still River in Brookfield, CT.

These FREE workshops will run from mid May through mid June, 2014

Joanne and Bruce Hunter, artists, and owners of The Art Spot in Danbury, received a Connecticut “Arts Catalyze Placemaking” grant to bring traditional hand crafting discovery workshops to children.

So, with great pride and excitement, they now invite the regional community to participate in this unique opportunity to work with craft artisans in an introduction to various traditional handcrafts.
