Find Your Studio Experience
Different ages. Different starting points.
One shared belief: we learn by exploring, making and thinking with our hands.
Explore by age or by experience.
EARLY YEARS
Toddler Atelier (coming soon)
Stories · Sensory Exploration · Open-Ended Making
A gentle introduction to the Potabella world for little ones and their grown-ups.
We begin with a story, a material, a sound, a texture or something found in nature—and follow where curiosity takes us.

Open Studio
(coming soon)
A little more freedom. A little more independence.
Open Studio is a small-group morning experience for preschoolers who are ready to explore without their grown-ups.
There isn't a fixed craft for everyone to reproduce. Instead, children encounter materials, stories and invitations to explore at their own pace.

PRESCHOOLERS
Story World
Where stories become something we can make.
We enter a story.
We meet its characters.
We discover its objects and places.
Then we begin to make.
A story might become a puppet.
A character might become a shelter.
A simple object might become something entirely new.

Material World -Build
What can a material do?
Before we decide what to make, we investigate what the material is capable of.
Can it bend?
Can it balance?
Can it stretch?
Can it connect?
Can it support?
What happens if we change the way we use it?

Design Studio
What if children could experience design the way designers do?
Projects may begin with a place, a problem, a material, a story or something worth noticing.
There isn't always a single correct answer.
Children develop ideas through drawing, modelling, building, discussion and experimentation.
