Why We Do This
At Tiny Factory, we see how hard it is to get kids away from screens. We wanted to create a space where they can put down their phones, work with their hands, and actually make things they are proud of.
The Tiny Factory Creator Club is a structured, 10-week program at our Westfield Fountain Gate store. It is designed for older kids (ages 8–14) to build real making skills, learn to use design tools properly, and express their own style. Instead of a quick, basic craft class, they will work on high-quality projects week by week and learn things like tool handling, spatial layout, and design planning.
What’s Included:
- 10 Weekly Projects: From custom jewelry and name chains to cream-glue tech accessories and treasure boxes, they will make and take home a new project every single week.
- Use of the Studio Tool Vault: Full access to our workshop equipment, tools, and materials under supervision.
- Official Maker Apron: Handed to them on Day 1 to wear during every session.
- Week 10 Live Studio Showcase: Parents can come into the studio for the last 20 minutes of the final week to see them finishing their work and watch them receive their graduation certificate.
