Tennessee Tech University's Appalachian Center for Craft presents "Family Craft Studio," a new intergenerational program happening monthly on Saturdays from February through May 2025. This free, drop-in event series is open to the public.

Children and their guardians are invited to explore a different hands-on craft project each month, guided by Tech art education students. Family groups will craft together and learn new techniques while working with fibers, glass, wood and metals. Each project is designed to engage participants of various ages and skill levels.

Sessions take place from 9 a.m. to noon on select Saturdays. Participants may arrive anytime during the allotted timeframe. The program will be held in ACC's 3D Design Room. Signage will be available to direct guests, and a campus map can be found on the Family Craft Studio website.

Spring 2025 dates and projects include:

  • February 22: Felted Faces
  • March 8: Fused Glass Tiles
  • April 12: Marble Mazes
  • May 17: Embossed Wind Chimes

Participants will take home their projects at the end of the session, except for those requiring kiln-firing or annealing, such as glass or clay pieces. These will be available for pickup at a later date.

Family Craft Studio is open to all individuals ages six and up. Minors must be accompanied by an adult for the duration of the session. Registration is recommended, though not required, and walk-ins are welcome as long as supplies last.

The Appalachian Center for Craft is located at 1560 Craft Center Drive in Smithville, Tenn. For more details or to register, visit www.tntech.edu/familycraft.
