EXTENSION Kits

Studio.Art.Lab EXTENSION is a growing collection of thoughtfully designed creative kits created for learning, making, and exploring beyond the studio.

Each kit is designed to offer a hands-on, accessible, and beautifully packaged creative experience that can be used at home, in classrooms, in community settings, or as part of a guided workshop.

How It Works

Why Extend the Lab

Where We Work

Programs are developed in collaboration with partner sites and can take the form of:

Short-term workshops
Multi-week residencies
Project-based classroom collaborations
Intergenerational or community-focused sessions

Each offering is tailored to the needs of the group, available space, and desired goals.

The Priority

Why Extend the Lab

The Art Lab Extension prioritizes:

Process over perfection
Accessibility and inclusion
Respect for individual pace and ability
Hands-on engagement with materials
Creative work as a tool for focus, confidence, and connection

Why Extend the Lab

Not everyone can come to the studio. The Art Lab Extension ensures that meaningful creative experiences remain accessible, portable, and deeply human, bringing the values of Studio.Art.Lab into the communities where they are most needed.Interested in hosting an Art Lab Extension program?

Curated Art Lab Kits

Studio Art Lab Youth Art Program

Not everyone is able to attend classes in person — and that’s okay.

Studio.Art.Lab offers curated take-home kits for those who prefer to work independently or continue their creative practice beyond the studio. Each kit is thoughtfully assembled to support meaningful making at your own pace.

What’s Inside

Each curated kit includes:

Carefully selected materials
Clear, accessible instructions
Context and creative prompts
Guidance that encourages exploration rather than perfection

Kits are designed to feel supportive, not overwhelming — offering enough structure to begin, and enough openness to make the work your own.

How the Kits Are Used

As a take-home option when in-person classes aren’t the right fit
To extend learning beyond a workshop or residency
For independent exploration at home
As a flexible alternative to scheduled programming

Our Approach

Just like our in-person programming, the kits emphasize:

Process over outcome
Accessibility and clarity
Care for materials and pace
Creative confidence through doing

Whether you join us in the studio or take the work home, the goal remains the same: to create space for focus, curiosity, and meaningful creative engagement.
