Not Just a Workshop — A Creative Journey with Purpose

At Paddlefootz Dolls & Thangs, our workshops are designed to do more than teach a skill — they awaken creativity, honor culture, and nurture the spirit of purposeful making. Each session invites you to slow down, reconnect with your imagination, and create something meaningful with your hands and heart.

Rooted in the principles of Nia’ful Kuumba — Purposeful Creativity — these experiences blend art, storytelling, and reflection to help participants see creativity as a tool for growth, healing, and cultural expression. Whether you join in-person or virtually, you’ll find a welcoming space where tradition meets innovation, and every creation carries intention and soul.

Our hybrid and in-person classes are crafted for all ages and experience levels, offering flexibility for families, educators, and individuals who want to create in community or from the comfort of home. Through guided instruction, shared conversation, and hands-on exploration, participants discover that making isn’t just about what we produce — it’s about what we remember, reclaim, and reimagine along the way.

Here, art becomes a form of storytelling. Craft becomes connection. And creativity becomes a bridge — linking the past, present, and future through the beauty of purposeful creation.
