Grownups Art Retreat
Get away for an afternoon of art and relaxation! Activities as follows:
Learn the basics of scrunch dyeing (AKA “low water immersion dyeing”) with Erin. It’s like tie dye for grownups–more mottled, blended, and subtly beautiful than traditional tie dye patterns. Two items will be provided for you to dye and are included in the cost of the retreat. Choose from bamboo socks, a small bag, and a hand towel. If you would like to purchase cotton muslin to dye at the workshop, you may purchase yardage from Kaleidoscope at $10/yard. You will leave the workshop knowing the basics of this beautiful dye technique.
Try your hand at paint pouring on canvas with Christy. Paint pouring gives dramatic pooling, puddling, and marble-like results. While it is a relatively simple process, it can be tricky–so let Christy show you the ropes!
Time permitting, we will close out the day making coffee paintings with Christy. Aromatic and just plain fun, painting with coffee is similar to using watercolors.
We will provide you with step-by-step directions and supply lists for all of the days projects so you can try them at home.
Projects will need to dry and can be picked up during normal Kaleidoscope hours or by appointment.
Cost is $40 and class size is limited to 10 participants.
Past Events
Neurodivergent Play Group
Neurodivergent Play Group
Kaleidoscope Hancock’s new Neurodivergent Play Group is aimed for students aged 6-11 who are not neurotypical. ADHD, ASD, and other ND kiddos and their siblings are welcome to join us for a weekly, low-structure play group. Our goal is to create a safe space for ND children to play, learn, and develop friendships with a consistent crew of children like themselves. Each week we will aim to have an activity, but we will let students engage or not as they wish. Some activity examples are Legos, making slime, games in the gym, and walking to the playground.
A parent or guardian is expected to remain with their student during play group. This is a great time to make connections with other parents! Our ND Play Group will meet Thursdays from 1:00-3:00 in 10 weeks sessions. Each session costs $50. Kaleidoscope students who have funding available are eligible to use it to pay for the play group.
Day: Thursdays beginning in September
Time: 1:00-3:00 pm
Cost: $50 per 10-week session
Parents are required to attend this play group with their students.
Kaleidoscope students who have funding available are eligible to use it to pay for this play group.
