California, the golden state, where the sun shines brighter than a firefly's behind, and the waves dance like jiggly jellyfish on hot sand! Here, kids are not just kids; they're mini-explorers, tiny inventors, and pint-sized pioneers! They sport sunglasses so big, they could eclipse the moon and wear flip flops that flippity-flop louder than a seagull stealing a hotdog! In the heart of this sunny paradise, there's a special gang of kids, known as the 'Mud Masters.' Oh, they're not what you're thinking — they don’t wrestle with hogs or play in the rain. No, they’re far more cultured, shaping and moulding the earth itself as they dive hands-first into the wonderfully messy world of pottery! Under the watchful one-eyed gaze of their guide, Captain Claybeard, a jolly pirate with a beard as tough as baked clay, they squish, squelch, and squash their way to artistic glory. They create things so beautiful, you'd think they were whispered into their ears by the pottery pixies in their sleep. Their hands, covered in mud, look like five-legged octopuses having a field day. What’s that? You thought pottery was quiet and refined? Ha! Not with the Mud Masters. Amidst the whirl of the pottery wheel and the squelch of the clay, there’s more laughter here than a hyena’s comedy night. They make pots, plates, and even the occasional pirate parrot for Captain Claybeard. So, welcome to California, where the sun is hot, the surf is up, and you can mold your dreams, one hilarious, clay-splattered pottery class at a time.

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.
