Meet this brave band of intergalactic explorers!

Last week in Art Camp, we launched pigs, foxes, rabbits, and even alligators into orbit in this whimsical “Astronaut Animal” project.  What a fun drawing prompt this was!

From swirling nebula skies to spacesuits carefully tailored to fit big floppy bunny ears and curly pig tails) -every tiny detail was out-of-this-world adorable!

I’m literally dying over the pig!  (Just when we thought we couldn’t invent a new “flying pig”! ) Which one is your fave? Tell us! ⬇️

FAMILY POTTERY WORKSHOP
4:30-6pm, $35 per person

In this hands-on family pottery workshop, each family member will create one plate to contribute to a shared family set, resulting in a collection of plates that “nest” neatly together—each one unique in design but unified in form.

You can choose to coordinate textures and colors as a family, or let each person design their own unique plate.

Either way, you’ll end up with a special keepsake set made with heart!

All pieces will be bisque and glaze fired, ready for pickup in about two weeks.

Our family workshops are designed for an all-ages crowd (age 6+) and are ideal for a family outing or a special grandparent activity. Set up each family member as a student to enroll (adults included). Kids ages 6-15 must be accompanied by a registered and participating adult.

Our Story

THIS IS A HAPPY PLACE.

Small Hands Big Art, recognized as Charlotte's best children's art studio, is a happy place where creative kids have been making magic (and messes) since 2009.

Rooted in fine art principles, fused with contemporary trends, and slathered in individual expression, we pride ourselves in curating an innovative art curriculum that grows with your child.

Starting when they can barely plant their swivel hips at our painting wall & thrash around with a brush, and continuing into the teens when they start following us on Instagram, we strive to push our creative boundaries, whether it is your child's first time through the door, or 400th.
