Once upon a time, in the colorful state of North Carolina, a bunch of bright-eyed, bushy-tailed kids lived. This wasn't your ordinary bunch though; they were the Crafty Clan, known far and wide for their unmatched talent in Art & Crafts! The state of NC, as their friends called it, was as diverse as a painter's palette, with its majestic Blue Ridge Mountains, lush green forests, sun-kissed beaches, and bustling cities. And right smack in the middle, you'd find the Crafty Clan, painting, gluing, cutting, and creating! Leading the pack was Billy the Brush, a cheeky little character who could paint a masterpiece faster than a squirrel eating a nut. If you thought his hair was wild, you should see his creations! One day it's a life-sized, rainbow-colored unicorn, the next it's a model of the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, with blinking lights and all. Next, meet the terrific twins, Gluey Gertie and Scissors Sid. Give Gertie a bottle of glue and she can make a sculpture that looks like it's straight out of the North Carolina Museum of Art. Sid, on the other hand, could cut shapes so perfect and precise, even the most finicky Geometry teacher would be beaming with pride. And let's not forget Popsicle Patty, the queen of crafting with anything and everything. Whether it's popsicle sticks, pine cones, or pebbles, Patty could turn them into adorable little creations that everyone in NC adored. Together, these kids filled North Carolina with color, creativity, and so much laughter. And between you and me, they were only just getting started. So, if you're ready for adventure, grab your paintbrushes and glue guns, and let's join the Crafty Clan in their next grand creation!

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
