the loft collective

small batch art experiences for toddlers to teens

We are born makers. We move what we’re learning from our heads to our hearts through our hands.


- Brené Brown, researcher, educator, public speaker

Reminder: The Loft will be closed for classes over Presidents Day* weekend. The 6th and final class of the session will be on Fri/Sat, Feb 20/21.

*We encourage you to take some time over this holiday weekend to discuss leadership with your children. What is the job of the president? What are some qualities of a good leader? Describe your ideal president: What do they say? What do they do? Let's raise a generation of thoughtful, compassionate, critical thinkers who use privilege for good and keep power in check.

Don't give up the ship.

We’re thrilled to announce our second location:
4214 Gallatin St, Hyattsville MD
