Every Saturday and Sunday from 11am-4:30pm check out what we're building, making, and creating in our Open Studio hours! NUMU's Open Studio offers visitors of all ages a hands-on opportunity to explore, discover and create.
$5 Materials fee each-day/per participant.

June 11th & 12th - Art Bots
Build and decorate your own crazy drawing machine, then pit it against other robots in a battle across a giant sheet of butcher paper. Take your robot’s artwork home with you!

June 18th & 19th - Nature Journals + Printmaking

Create your own nature journal and you’ll be able to draw and explore nature all summer long! You will practice different varieties of printmaking to fill it with beautiful art. Participants will experiment with gelatin prints, plant prints, and Styrofoam printmaking.

June 25th & 26th | Cardboard Automatons

Use cardboard boxes and wooden skewers to create moving, story-telling machines. Each participant will have the opportunity to plan a simple machine with some guidance in designing and building! This workshop will be a fun blend of art and engineering where participants can put gears and motion into practice.

July 2nd & 3rd |What is Upcycling?

Learn about recycling—the fun way! Bring in old t-shirts and learn how to make them into bracelets, headbands, scarves, and bags. We’ll also experiment with t-shirt weaving.
