Mindful Makers Class
What to ExpectIn collaboration with The Studio and Memorial School art teacher, Ms. Manalili, Mindful Makers offers a calm, supportive space where children can slow down, express themselves, and build confidence through art.
Blending creativity with social-emotional learning, students explore their feelings, take creative risks, and feel proud of their work—without pressure to be perfect. The goal is to support both the artist and the individual, helping each child feel seen and inspired.
