Circus Skills / Pottery / Digital and Junk Art

Our anniversary circus is in town and we need a crew! Learn to juggle, spin poi, and master the hula hoop. When you’re ready for a change of pace, hit the potter’s studio to spin the wheel or explore digital art.

Activities Include: Learn to spin plates and keep them whirling like a true circus pro.
Try basic acrobatics and partner tricks in a fun, supportive environment.
Step into the potter’s studio and shape your own clay creations on the wheel.
Dive into digital art and create masterpieces.
Experiment with light-up or glow art for a magical carnival atmosphere.
Work as a team to rehearse and perform your own mini circus show.

Each day is packed with hands-on activities, and we wrap up each week with our legendary ‘Fun Friday Birthday Party’ featuring music, popcorn and cake.

A little reminder for our festival attendees: Please bring a packed lunch and water bottle to stay refreshed and keep those creative energy levels up!
