Come for an hour or more of fun in the studio. Adults can stay and participate with your child or run some local errands while I engage your child's artistic side. Our hours during the week are Tuesday and Wednesday 10:00-12:00 and Thursday and Friday 10:00-1:00. On Saturday February 13th we will have open studio hours from 10:00-noon and closed the rest of the day for birthday parties.
If these hours don't fit your schedule or you would like to come in on a closed day, give us a call and we can work to "create" open hours that fit your schedule. Cost is $15 per hour and $10 per hour for each additional sibling. We except cash and check only.
February and April Break Extended Hours
During February break, Feb 15th - 19th, and then again for April break we will be open Monday thru Friday from 10:00-2:00. Come for an hour or more in the studio. Parents are not required to stay but are welcome. The cost is $15 per hour/child and $10 for each additional siblings. Reservations are not required but if coming with a large group of 4 we appreciate a call ahead.
Dinner and Art
Join us for Dinner and Art on Friday February 26th from 5:00-7:30 for kids 2-7 years old. We provide all the food and art while you can enjoy a quiet dinner at one of Freeport's many fine dining or just some needed free time to get things done. The cost is $25 per child and $15 for each additional sibling. We tend to get involved in the projects so dress in clothes that can get messy. Reservations are required (minimum of 3 kids required).
Have your birthday party with us
For $200 we provide all the art, flatware, and fun so you just bring the kids and cake. (This cost is for up to 10 kids 2-9 years old in attendance and additional guests are $15 each.)
Our Philosophy:
Smudge provides a unique approach to art making for children ages 2-9. Our open hours, birthday parties, and special events focus on the creative process while using a variety of media. Our studio is set up in stations which enables children to explore art in a relaxed setting and allows them to create at their own pace. Art making can be messy (which is a lot of fun) and we encourage children to come to the studio in comfortable old clothes. Each week our drop-in sessions will present children with an array of choices in order to maximize participation and focus on self-expression. Smudge aims to maintain a fun, supportive and instructional environment that will allow children to develop their artistic skills.
