March In, see what's new

Hello Sticky Fans,

We still have space in the SPRING CAMP "Potions, Goop, and Soap." Call the shop to register. While you're at it, sign your kids up for a week or two of SUMMER CAMP! Ages 6-12. Early Bird special until March 15.

For Spring Camp, we'll break out the garden herbs and spices, blossoms and dried peels and smush em up good. Add some water, essential oils, sprinkle in some dirt, color, powder-- save it in a fancy jar, for friendship, love, or more sinister purposes-- it's all fun in the Sticky Potion Lab.

We'll make some stretchy stuff, gooey stuff, smelly stuff, too.
We'll paint a pot, and plant a bulb or succulent.
We'll melt some soap and form our own bars-- some with herbs inside, some with tiny toys-- to take home or to give as a gift.

It's the backyard messy laboratory plus playing in the park most perfect day you ever dreamed of. You can go for the full week or a couple of days. Call 510-981-1148 to register. April 1-5, $60/day, 9am to 5pm, ages 6-12, home lunch, half days okay.
