Creation Station with Emily Cole

Creation Station
Ages: 6–11 | Cost: $10

Creation Station is a fun and welcoming art program designed for elementary-aged students to explore their creativity through hands-on projects. Each week features a new theme and medium—ranging from painting and drawing to sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media—with occasional two-part projects that span back-to-back weeks. Students receive step-by-step guidance while being encouraged to make choices that personalize their artwork, helping them build skills, confidence, and creative problem-solving.

This class is perfect for kids who love experimenting with different materials and want to grow their artistic voice in a supportive environment.

Starting September, pre-registration is required. Walk-in availability will be limited and may not be available at all depending on the number of online sign-ups.

Emily Cole is an educator and artist with a passion for inspiring creativity in children. With experience as a fourth-grade elementary teacher and as a STEM instructor at The Discovery Center, she has a strong foundation in classroom instruction and student development. Prior to her teaching career, she was an instructor at a fused glass art studio, where she taught people of all ages to create glass art, cultivating a deep love for combining art with education. Emily is eager to bring her unique blend of teaching and artistic skills to a new role, where she can inspire a continued enjoyment of art in the next generation.
