Explore your creativity through a hands-on STEAM activity: build and assemble a 3D cardboard collage of your favorite animal—such as a horse, unicorn, panda, raccoon, fox, alligator, and more! Learn about spatial reasoning, artistic engineering, and sustainable design while using recycled materials.

All supplies are provided, but you’re encouraged to bring flat, reusable materials from home to add a personal touch to your eco-friendly creation.

This activity combines art, design, and basic construction skills in a fun, family-friendly environment. Geared towards youth, but all ages and experience levels are welcome—including children under 12!

Registration coming soon.

STEAM-tastic @ DRA – Come join us at Del Ray Artisans for interactive classes about Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math (STEAM), taught by professionals from each field!
