These Young Makers Creativity Workshops are designed for drop-in visitors to The Empowerment Factory and the Makers Marketplace. We want to encourage family friendly activities that inspire learning and self exploration. You can stop in for 20 minutes or stay for a while. These workshops are free for kids, but donations are accepted on site. This activity is made possible in part by a grant from the Rhode Island State Council on the Arts, through an appropriation by the Rhode Island General Assembly and a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.

February 23rd – Rice Robots & Monsters – Come sew and embellish your own pocket-sized hand warmers! We will use recycled materials in any style you choose. Warm your hands and your heart! All materials and instruction included.

This workshop is being lead by artists Laura Taylor, (@Fiberartgoddess on Facebook and Instagram) and Gail Ahlers (@GailAhlers & @TheEmpowermentFactory on Facebook and Instagram)
