This Valentine’s Day, Westhampton Beach has something sweet to look forward to.
ColorPop Workshop — the bright, design-forward, art-making space renowned for its hands-on creativity for youngsters ages 2 to 12 — is opening a new location inside the former home of Pawcasso Art Studio and Pet Boutique, located at 3 Sunset Ave. The soft opening marks the studio’s second Hamptons studio and fourth overall.
Building on the brand’s growing presence across two NYC studios on the Upper East Side and its just-a-year-old Southampton outpost, the Westhampton Beach location invites children (and adults) to explore elevated art experiences on a year-round basis, according to a press release from the studio, through a variety of trend-forward, artist-guided projects and mediums, including watercolor, sculpture, mixed media.
“I share a personal tie to the Westhampton area, so it makes this expansion an extra sweet milestone,” says Tiffany Rafii, co-founder of ColorPop Workshop. “As ColorPop continues to grow, we’re so excited to join the Westhampton community and create a space where kids and families can come together, celebrate special moments, and make something memorable.”
Offerings will include ColorPops signature two-hour workshops and open studios where new projects will be introduced each and every week so would-be artists have the opportunity to explore (and hopefully, challenge) themselves while finding their own creative lens. This weekend’s soft launch is slated to include a Valentine’s Day gift making workshop (a two-hour, drop-off class) beginning at 10 a.m. and is recommended for children ages 4 to 12. Open studio is from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. and an acrylic painting session (aptly dubbed Paint Pour Hour) starts at 12:30, where participants will create their own unique marble figurine, sure to become a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. Classes and workshops start at $55 per person.
Don’t forget to dress for a mess!
