Welcome, my young friends, to the wonderfully wacky world of Wisconsin! It's a state with more cheese than a mouse's dream and it's as green as a broccoli's birthday party. From Milwaukee's big city buzz to the fantastical forests of the Northwoods, this place is packed with adventures as plentiful as a popcorn machine at a movie marathon! Now, let's talk about the fantastic kids of Wisconsin who love to dabble in the delightful dance of woodworking. They are as crafty as Crafty Carl, our imaginary superhero, who uses his magical chisel and hammer to build anything you can dream of. The moment they put on their safety goggles, they turn into little versions of Crafty Carl, diving into a forest of creativity. You'd think they might only be making simple birdhouses or toy cars, but oh no, these are no ordinary kids. They're crafting cheese-shaped clocks (because, of course, it's always cheese o'clock in Wisconsin!), miniature models of the Green Bay Packers' stadium, and even teeny-tiny replicas of Wisconsin's famous dairy cows. These kids have splinters in their fingers, sawdust in their hair, and they laugh in the face of paper cuts. They can smell a block of wood better than a beaver at breakfast and can tell you if it's oak, pine, or maple without even opening their eyes. These Wisconsin woodworking wonders, with their creative minds spinning faster than a hamster on a sugar rush, are the heart and soul of this fantastic state. Their wild imaginations and their remarkable crafting abilities make Wisconsin a truly magical place in which to grow up and create. So, come on kiddos, Crafty Carl is waiting to take you on the woodworking adventure of a lifetime!

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.
