Little Makers - Pop, Swirl, Create!

Pop, Swirl, Create! - Water Wonder Printmaking

Join us at Margot’s Mercantile for a joyful, hands-on printmaking adventure designed especially for children ages 3-8 and their grown-ups.

In this playful workshop, young artists will explore two magical water-based printing techniques that transform simple materials into beautiful, one-of-a-kind art.

Children will delight in bubble printing, blowing colorful paint bubbles that pop onto paper in whimsical, lace-like patterns - a process that feels equal parts science experiment and art studio fun.

Then we’ll gently introduce the ancient Japanese art of Suminagashi, where ink floats on water and creates soft, swirling designs that children can capture on paper with a simple touch. Watching the colors move and transform is mesmerizing for all and wonderfully calming.

This workshop is sensory-rich, process-focused, and perfectly suited for young children with no prior art experience needed. Each child will leave with a collection of unique prints.

All materials are provided, and our warm, welcoming environment makes it easy for families to relax, connect, and create together.
