Spooky Season in Frankfort

Spooky Season in Frankfort

It’s spooky season! Time for fall festivals and halloween fun. Here are some free (or cheap) things to do in Frankfort this season for families and kids.

October 7-11: Fall Break Camp, Creepy Creations with Broadway Clay
Cost: $165 (Yes Cards Accepted)
Time: 9:00am -12:00pm

During this camp we will be creating wheel thrown pots, monster mugs, spider web bowls, carving clay pumpkins and more! Bring your creative spirit!

Our week-long clay camps provide a professional studio environment for campers to grow their artistic skills. Through exploration, students become independent learners who aren’t afraid to freely create and make messy mistakes! Our qualified instructors teach skills that allow students to develop artwork worthy for a portfolio.
