Makers Mill is offering 5 days of maker workshops for youth aged 8-13 each day, Monday through Friday, April 27 through May 1. Classes run from 10am to 1:30pm with a lunch break.

In this class on Tuesday April 28: Get ready to cut, layer, and glue your way to something amazing! In this class, kids will learn the art of decoupage by using colorful paper cutouts, cool paint effects, shiny gold leaf, and other fun decorations. Create a favorite picture, memory, or imaginative scene using different papers and textures.
When your masterpiece is finished, we’ll seal it with Mod Podge so it stays bright and beautiful. Come ready to get creative and a little gluey — it’s all part of the fun!
