AFTER SCHOOL!
NOW ENROLLING!
Our after-school classes are designed to inspire creativity and build confidence while helping students develop new skills and strengthen the ones they already have. Meeting once a week throughout the entire semester, these classes provide a fun and supportive environment where kids can explore a variety of hands-on projects. Each session lasts two hours, giving students plenty of time to dive deep into exciting activities that include sewing, painting, embroidery, and so much more! Whether they’re beginners or already have some experience, our classes encourage imagination, patience, and pride in craftsmanship. Beyond just learning techniques, these classes are a wonderful way for kids to connect with peers who share their interests, build friendships, and develop a sense of accomplishment as they see their projects come to life. Plus, they get to spend time in our cozy, creative studio space designed especially to nurture young artists. Whether your child dreams of stitching their own custom creations, painting vibrant masterpieces, or mastering the art of embroidery, our after-school classes offer something for everyone. We focus not just on skill-building, but also on fostering creativity, problem-solving, and a lifelong love for making things by hand. Join us for a semester filled with fun, learning, and endless creative possibilities!
The first 30 students to enroll in our after-school classes will be entered to win a private sewing lesson for your child and a friend with Ms. Paula! It’s a great chance to learn some cool skills and have fun with a buddy—don’t miss out!

Tuition: $175/month per child
Due by the 10th of each month
Procrastinators beware: payments after the 10th get hit with a $20 late fee (we don't like it either, but rules are rules)

Payment Methods:
We’re old school—cash or check ONLY.
No Venmo. No Apple Pay. No magic beans.
Snacks, Snow Days & Scheduling Shenanigans
Snacks:
New this year! There will be no snacks provided during class.
But don’t worry—we’ve got water! Stay hydrated, stay creative.Snow Days:
If snow cancels class, that’s it. No make-up days. We love your kids, but we can’t control the weather.Missed Classes:
Life happens. Soccer practice, dance recitals, spontaneous vacations to Florida… But please choose a class day that works best because we do not offer make-ups for missed days due to extracurriculars or schedule conflicts.Mark Your Calendars!
We follow the Fayetteville Public Schools calendar, which means:
No class for Thanksgiving: November 24–28
No class for Christmas Break: December 22 – January 5
No class for Spring Break: March 23–27
We’ll miss your little artists during the breaks, but we’ll be back with more pipe cleaners and googly eyes afterward!
We’re excited to spend the semester creating, learning, and making big messes (the fun kind).
Thanks for trusting us with your amazing kids—we can’t wait to get started!
age Requirement
Students aged 5 and older are invited to join our after-school classes and dive into a world of creativity! We believe that creativity has no age limit, but starting at age five ensures that students have the fine motor skills and focus needed to get the most out of each session. Our experienced instructors tailor projects and guidance to fit each child’s abilities, helping every student feel confident and inspired.
