In the colorful state of North Carolina, where the blueberries are bouncier, the cats can play the banjo, and the trees whisper goodnight to the moon, an extraordinary thing happens. Every Saturday, right when the morning sun starts to play hide and seek with the fluffy clouds, a group of curious kids gather to dive into an adventure of pottery-making. Now, these aren't your ordinary kiddos, oh no! These are the Mud Munchkins of NC, a league of little hands creating big dreams. Our story starts with a delightful chap named Clumpy. Now, Clumpy isn't your average boy. He's a charming, giggly, and freckle-faced, clay-eating gnome, who's only taller than a stack of 32 pancakes (and yes, he’s counted!). He's got bright red hair that stands on end like a startled porcupine and a pair of twinkling eyes that hide a world of mischief. Clumpy is the Mud Munchkins' leader, their guide in this messy, but exhilarating journey of pottery-making. Every Saturday, Clumpy and the Mud Munchkins huddle around a magical potter's wheel, where a glob of gray clay transforms into a masterpiece under their tiny fingers. They mold, spin, and shape, giggling as the mud splashes their faces, turning them into mud monsters! There are flying pirates’ ships, towering princess castles, and even a snoring dragon with a lopsided smile. But the coolest part, you ask? Well, once their creations are baked under the midday sun, they don't just become pottery. Oh no! They become real! At least, that's what Clumpy says, whispering in each Mud Munchkin's ear. And when you're in North Carolina, where the sun smiles a little brighter and the wind sings lullabies, who's to say it isn't true?

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.
