Young Makers Program
At Brookfield Craft Center, young people learn by making. From their first clay project to an advanced forge, woodworking, or metalsmithing experience, our youth programs offer welcoming, hands-on opportunities to build skill, confidence, creativity, and connection.
Explore a new material, build practical skills, and make something you are proud to take home. BCC youth classes are small, supportive, and taught by experienced teaching artists in studios for clay, wood, metal, fibers, glass, and more.
Why Make at BCC?
Young people deserve opportunities to learn with their hands, not only through a screen. Our programs help students develop:
- Practical skills and tool confidence
- Patience, focus, and problem-solving
- Creative independence and self-expression
- Respect for materials, process, and shared studio spaces
- Respect for materials, process, and shared studio spaces
- A supportive community of fellow makers
