Pop-up Art series IN ESPOO
This summer, our Pop-up Art sessions at local libraries were a big hit so we’re bringing them back! Pop-up Art is a free arts & crafts activity for families, where children can create together with their parents and parents can meet other families in a relaxed, welcoming space.
This fall, we’ll be popping up in Espoo libraries with fun, interactive themes on different dates – from tissue paper art to bookmark making and more creative surprises! Open to all families and no registration needed.
