Needham Community Education

Let your imagination run wild as we turn your afternoons into Crafternoons! Join us to make, play, and experiment with a wide variety of both traditional and non-traditional art materials. Afternoons may include painting, mixed media, seasonally inspired activities, building with upcycled and recycled materials, and much more. What will we create and discover in this welcoming and collaborative space? Because social connections are a big part of kick-starting creativity, classes will also include breaks for games, movement, or music. Whenever possible, we will also take advantage of the increasingly nice weather, using the outdoors as a workspace and a source of inspiration! 6 classes total NCE begins immediately at the end of the school day.
