Halloween art + craft fun!
Lets make some baby pumpkins + garlands, hand-woven spider webs and other Halloween fun!
Join us in the studio for super sweet, cute, busting it-out fun making Halloween decorations! We will be creating some funky and thoughtful Halloween crafts at the studio to decorate your house and room. Imagine beautiful materials and the cutest art stations to put in your windows and table.
Dress up!
Don’t you love trying out costumes before Halloween? This is your chance! You just need to be able to make art in it, and it needs to be fun and wholesome (nothing scary for the little kids)! Plus, you’ll get new ideas just being in the studio!
Face-painting too…:)
We will also be doing some fun little face-paint with eco-kids face-paint. Little pumpkins, kitty + puppy faces, we do it simple but super fun!

healthy community
For the safety and health of all, we have a robust Covid process, which we will need everyone to adhere to in order to have a safe community. Currently, we are not wearing masks in the studio, but we encourage our community to test frequently and wear them if any concerns. We ask that everyone work with us to make sure your children come healthy to the studio. Our ceiling fans and air filter will be running. We will revisit our Covid and healthy community policy as we go. We DO encourage you if you are sick in any way or feel worried to pop your mask on.
our space
Our space is fun and joyful, bright and renovated, known as Love Lab Studio. The design is thoughtfully curated for the needs of the children. We are located at 26 Brackett Street, a mixed residential and retail neighborhood in the West End of Portland.
