Classes, Camps and Workshops

Green Art Labs connects people to their creativity and the Earth through reusable materials. We have more than 12 years of experience hosting hands-on, eco-minded art classes, camps and workshops for children, teens, adults and families.

Our award-winning curriculum is process based and gives people the time and space to create. Some of our most popular programs are game making, eco-inventions, simple machines, sewing and free creating. Our teaching artists are patient, kind, emotionally intelligent creatives who love spending time engaging with our students.
