Shop to Studio: A Week of Making with Saratoga Joinery & Saratoga Arts

Give your teen a week of real making! In this hands-on summer program, students ages 12–14 spend mornings building woodworking projects with professional tools at Saratoga Joinery, then walk to Saratoga Arts to bring their creations to life with paint, printmaking, and mixed media. They'll come home with a potting bench, picture frame, birdhouse — and a whole new sense of what they can create.
