Piglet’s Playgroup is a warm and welcoming caregiver–child class designed for our youngest artists and explorers. Each week, little ones will engage in thoughtfully curated experiences centered around a playful theme.

This class is all about the process—not the product—giving kids the freedom to get messy, experiment, and learn through hands-on exploration. Piglet’s Playgroup is more than a class—it’s a chance to build community, create memories, and celebrate the wonder of early childhood. Ages 4.5 and under. This is not a drop off class, each child must be accompanied by an adult.
