Please Note: Free school pick up from PS 9, PS 282, and PS 456 for semester-long enrollment only. Single-day registrations are drop-off only .* Wednesdays are now available for ages 4-9 (great for siblings to attend together) and for drop in or full semester options! This after-school offering blends the freedom of our signature Open Studio experience with expanded opportunities to dive deeper into artmaking. Students will explore a mix of guided projects, collaborative challenges, and independent creations—developing new techniques, trying fresh materials, and building confidence along the way. While creative choice and play are still at the heart of our studio, this age group will enjoy more structured options and the satisfaction of going home with finished pieces over time. * If we do not currently offer school pick up, please reach out to info@littlemakersstudio.com, if three families sign up from the same school for full semester enrollment - we can add free pick up to that school.
