Hamilton Craft Studios

Huge thank you to and writer/artist/fantastic human for coming to chat with our artists and founders about what we’re creating here at HCS.

It was great to read an article that truly SEES the space and acknowledges that it’s the people that make it what it is. We feel every day that what is happening here is special and we appreciate the opportunity to share this with the Hamilton City Magazine readership.

Thank you!

The best part about teaching kids (for me anyway) is getting them to a place where they stop asking for permission to try something. There’s always a couple who right away understand that they can play when it comes to making art, but more often than not I get questions like: can I use a marker for this? Can I use yellow paper? Can I cut it like this? I know we’re only going into day two, but the kids have already heard my catch phrase a million times and are figuring out it’s more fun if we just trust our guts and go for it. They know I’m game for figuring something out with them if they’re curious about trying something completely different. So the questions I’m getting aren’t getting my go to response “why not?” as often, the questions are getting the response “let’s see!” - I’m a fan.

Camp is great. 10/10 highly recommend.
