Extra Special Workshops at Manoa Heritage Center

Adult / Keiki Paper Marbling Workshop!

We are excited to partner once again with our friends at Manoa Heritage Center to offer a special Garden Tour + Art Workshop. On Tuesday, July 9, 9am-12pm join us for a lovely, fun-filled half day as we first venture through Manoa Heritage Center's beautiful gardens to learn more about their grounds and native plants. Then we will start our Suminagashi Paper Marbling workshop for adults and their keiki ages 5 & up. Delicious pastries from Brug Bakery will also be provided, and participants are welcome to bring a home lunch to enjoy on-site.

Educators & their children cost ONLY $10 per person

Non-Educators cost $20 per person (non-Educator children are still $10 each)

*Adults can sign up alone or bring keiki, but keiki must be with a paying adult.*

Adult Paper-Making Workshop!

Manoa Heritage Center is also offering two adult Intro to Paper-Making workshops on Monday, July 8 in conjunction with the Suminagashi class above. You can take one of their paper-making classes on Monday and use the paper that you make to do Suminagashi on Tuesday!

This class is for adults only. Registration takes place for this class at the Manoa Heritage Center web site.

About Art Explorium

Art Explorium provides a community art studio to nurture the creative potential in children.

Art Explorium is a non-profit organization in Kaimuki that provides art opportunities for youth. Stop by and try out our art stations (request a $5 per person coupon>>>).

Open Studio Hours

Description
Nurturing tomorrow's creative thinkers

Art Explorium provides a fun, safe place where children of all ages have the opportunity and the permission to create freely. We firmly believe that art experiences are an important part of every person's growth and development. So... WE provide the space and materials, YOU provide the ideas and make them happen!

Art Explorium strives to be an eco-friendly organization. Many of the art materials in our studio are items that would normally be thrown in the landfill (old pieces of fabric, used bottle caps, small boxes, magazines, ribbon, etc.). We collect these used materials from our friends and local businesses, and Art Explorium visitors give these items a new life as art.

We offer art classes, birthday parties, and field trips to our studio. We also offer Open Studio time - come on in with your family and dabble in one or all of our art stations which offer activities like painting, sculpting, drawing, making mosaics and more. See you there!

General Information
Come on by! During Open Studio time you are free to drop in, use our space and materials and explore the process of creating.

We also offer art classes, birthday parties and field trips to our studio!

Notes
Hours and price subject to change without notice.
Ample metered parking is available on the street or in the lot behind our building.
