Do you love paper, paint, glitter, and getting a little messy? Have you ever wanted to try something new, like painting, pom-pom making, or creating your own one-of-a-kind masterpiece and didn’t know how to get started?

Creative Chaos is a playful, open-ended artistic experience for youth in grades 6 through senior. Experiment, explore, and follow your curiosity wherever it leads. There are no mistakes here, just layers, textures, and happy accidents.

We’ll begin with a “Neature Walk”—an unhurried, sensory wander through the woods surrounding the Folk School. This time outdoors is meant to spark ideas, shift perspective, and invite inspiration from the textures, patterns, and quiet moments found in nature before moving into the creative process.

Dig into a colorful collection of materials like patterned papers, paints, markers, ribbons, washi tape, beads, and more. Try out new techniques, mix and match supplies, and create projects that are completely your own. Need a spark of inspiration? Simple project ideas like mini books and paper creations will be available to get you started.
