We’ve hosted several hands-on art events at Plumb Memorial Library in Shelton, CT, in partnership with Miss Maura, the library’s programming coordinator. One of our favorite series is called “Whimsy Craft Wonders” — a magical program where creativity takes center stage. During these events, Olivia guides children and families in making enchanting projects like tea party accessories and fairy castles built from whimsical supplies.

These events are more than just craft sessions; they are opportunities for kids to spark their imagination, build confidence, and enjoy the joy of creating something with their own hands.

On Instagram, @art.haven is where our creativity shines beyond the library. We post highlights from our community events such as the laughter, the learning, and the finished projects, so families and students can see what we’re up to.

Alongside event recaps, I share step-by-step tutorials for simple yet impressive crafts that anyone can try at home with just a few supplies.

From making colorful greeting cards and origami animals to designing seasonal decorations, the tutorials are designed to be easy to follow, fun to make, and rewarding to share. Each post is a chance to spark imagination and encourage kids, teens, and even adults to see that they can make beautiful things with their own hands.
