Connecting art and the world 🌎

We're an arts education group started and run by high school seniors. This is our vision:

  • To show how art is relevant and connected to our world

  • To encourage creativity as much as possible

  • To offer fun, engaging classes where anyone, anywhere can experience art together

To do this, we teach about artnot just how to drawaround themes like gratitude, sustainability, STEM and wellness.

Hi! I'm a high school senior. Kathleen and I started Craft With Us as a summer project in 2021 and it has been the best experience ever since. I hope that you enjoy and learn a lot from our courses.

I really like running, open water swimming, caffeine, trying new things and going to new places. Lately I've been painting and learning Spanish on the weekends.

Hi! I'm a high school senior. During my free time, I enjoy painting and selling my embroidery pieces through my Instagram account @sewnoodle. It is exciting to be able to collaborate with customers to turn their ideas into wearable art.

I am looking forward to meeting you!

Hi! I'm a high school senior. I have enjoyed and created various forms of art for over 10 years. Art is a form of expression I have always admired and wished for kids to expand their creativity from. My other hobbies are playing volleyball and reading Webtoons.

I am so excited to meet you and share a fun time!

"You rock!"

"This class has brought me so much joy. I love a challenge! I have a Bachelors of Fine Art and I am still learning so much from this class."

"My daughter loved her session at Craft With Us. Every day, she came home smiling and proud of her creations. The camp counselors were able to engage the kids and they provided a wide variety of activities and projects. There were safety measures in place, and I felt very comfortable sending my daughter each day."
