Oak Forestâs Jennifer Collins, who with husband, Brian, is opening Kidcreate Studio in Garden Oaksâ Stomping Grounds, said her family has always been artsy.
âOur home is filled with arts and crafts,â Collins said. âIt started as a time filler for the kids during COVID, but it is also very therapeutic for a high-anxiety time in our lives, like a global pandemic.â
Kidscreate Studio is a space for kids that offers art classes, camps and art-themed birthday parties. Projects run the gamut of the art spectrum with drawing, painting, clays, mixed media and more. Collins said there is an education component, too, as the projects focus on a particular artist or technique.
