The staff at Busy Bees Pottery & Arts Studio in Mentor have not only prepared a new option for kids of all ages to experience art either virtually or in the studio, but have also arranged the studio for social distancing and put safety protocols in place.  With these protocols the studio is offering an ongoing Kids Art Club once the school year begins as well as plenty of options for adult and family fun.

Busy Bees Art Club will be offered Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 3 – 5:30 pm.  Enrollment is per session to accommodate parents’ work schedules.  Each day of Busy Bees Art Club revolves around a specific theme and each day campers will create art ranging from pottery to canvas to glass fusing to clay hand building.  

Art Club sessions include all materials and supplies, small class sizes and individual attention.  Single-day session registration is $45, two sessions per week is $87, and three sessions per week is $145.  Children must be between the ages of 5–13.  To keep with safety guidelines, there will be only eight sign-ups available per session.  To sign up for Busy Bees Art Club, visit  https://mentor.busybeesart.com/product/art-class.  Sessions begin Wednesday, September 2.

Realizing not everyone has comfort in leaving the house, Busy Bees has developed an in-home concept for kids called Art Club To-Go, a perfect alternative to keep young artists busy.  Choose from 24 themed kits ranging from sports time to unicorn magic, shark week, fun with food and more!  Kits are priced at $60 each and all kits include three projects.  Projects include a pottery, canvas, and mosaic and include all project supplies including brushes and paints.  To add to the fun, online Zoom access to interact with the Busy Bees’ team of artists and tip sheets for the project types is included. 

“We wanted every child to have an art club experience whether it be in our studio or at home.  By adding the interactive feature via Zoom to our Art Club To-Go, kids at home will be able to receive creative guidance as if they were in the studio,” states Beth Brinton, owner of Busy Bees Pottery & Arts Studio.
