Art House 7 — a Perfect Place for a Birthday Party!
Let Art House 7 host your birthday party, and leave (most of) the work to us! We provide 2-hour parties starting at $350 for the birthday child and 9 guests. Each additional guest is $20. Optional goodie bags (containing a sketchbook, markers or watercolor, pencil and ruler) are $8 each. Parties run from 1pm – 3pm on Saturdays and are for children ages 5+. Watch your guests participate in a fun art project, which will be theirs to take home.

Painting (see more painting themes on request form)
A painting party is always a fun set-up with the tables lined with table easels. Most projects are done with acrylic paint on canvas unless stated otherwise. The kids will take inspiration from the chosen project and learn how to make their visions come to life!
Wire Sculpture
In the wire sculpture project, kids will use American sculptor Alexander Calder’s “Finny Fish” as a reference to create a wire fish mobile. After designing their fish and shaping the wire, they will decorate their creation with glass beads.
Jewelry
Kids will hand-make beads by rolling strips of paper around a wooden dowel and securing them with glue. They will then put a protective gloss coat of Mod Podge on the beads. At the same time, they will take turns hammering unique metal charms. Toward the end of the event, the kids will create necklaces and bracelets with their custom beads and charms.
Polymer Clay Charms
In this project, kids will make small charms that can be added to necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and keychains. Polymer clay is oven-bake clay and can be baked in as few as 15 minutes. After the charms are created, the kids will seal their creations with a protective gloss coat of Mod Podge and add them to their jewelry of choice.
Needle-Felting
To start the needle felting project, everyone is given fluffy unspun wool. Then, using a felting needle, they will sculpt the wool into whatever form they choose. A felting needle is a very sharp needle with barbs on the end. The barbs make the wool catch on itself which in turn binds the wool. Students can create something free-form or use a cookie cutter as a guide.
