Welcome to Family Month at Faire & Co!
This August, we're embracing the joy of creating together, focusing on the powerful bonds of family, and celebrating the warmth of our studio family.
Whether it's immediate family, extended relatives, or chosen family, we believe in the importance of these connections and the unique ways creativity can bring us closer.
Celebrate Father's Day with Special Workshops
Father’s Day is just around the corner, and what better way to honor the special men in our lives than by creating something meaningful together? We have three exciting workshops lined up to help you and your family celebrate this day:
1. Best Dad Ever Plaque Capture a precious moment with your little one’s handprints on a plaque that says “Best Dad Ever.” This keepsake is a heartfelt way to commemorate the bond between father and child.
2. Graff Your Dad Add a splash of color to Dad’s day with our Graff Your Dad workshop. Use paint and Posca markers to create a vibrant piece of art. We’ll even help you frame and wrap it, making it a perfect gift for Father’s Day.
3. Custom Lego Characters Bring Dad to the studio for a fun, interactive session where you’ll create custom Lego characters. Design one for yourself and one for Dad—let’s see how artistic he can get!
Create a Family Canvas Masterpiece
Last weekend, we had the pleasure of hosting a family celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary with a Family Canvas session. The experience was a hit, and we received many inquiries about creating your own family canvas.
In our Family Canvas sessions, we involve everyone in crafting a beautiful, personalized piece of art. We start by curating a color palette with the family decision-maker (often Mum) to ensure the final piece complements your home decor. Each family member adds their unique touch, resulting in a cherished artwork you’ll proudly display.
Why Family Activities Matter
Family activities, whether with immediate family, extended relatives, or chosen family, are essential for building and maintaining strong connections.
Engaging in creative projects together helps foster communication, cooperation, and shared joy. It allows family members to express themselves and appreciate each other's unique talents and perspectives.
At Faire & Co, our goal during Family Month is to create a community where everyone feels connected. Through our adult classes and workshops, we aim to build a supportive environment where families can come together, reflect meaningfully, and enjoy the process of creation.
Art and Family: A Perfect Pair
Art provides a wonderful avenue for families to connect on a deeper level. Engaging in creative activities together can strengthen bonds, improve communication, and foster a sense of teamwork. Here’s why art is a perfect way to bring families closer:
Fosters Communication
Working on art projects together encourages dialogue and cooperation. It’s a chance for family members to express their thoughts and ideas, listen to each other, and collaborate on a shared goal.
Builds Confidence
Creating something from scratch gives both children and adults a sense of accomplishment. It boosts self-esteem and encourages everyone to take pride in their work.
Encourages Emotional Expression
Art allows individuals to express their feelings in a non-verbal way. For children, it can be a way to communicate their emotions, while adults can use it to reflect and connect with their inner selves.
Creating Gifts: A Personal Touch
Handmade gifts carry a personal touch that store-bought items simply can’t match. Here are some ideas we offer throughout the year for creating meaningful gifts for family members:
Customized Photo Frames: Decorate photo frames with paint, beads, or fabric to create a personalized frame for a cherished family photo. It’s a thoughtful gift that captures special moments.
Decorated Mugs or Plates: Use ceramic markers to design custom mugs or plates. These can be used daily and serve as a constant reminder of your family bond.
Family Recipe Book: Create a family recipe book by decorating blank pages and adding your favorite recipes. Include photos and stories behind each dish for a meaningful and functional gift.
Keep an eye on our programs as we get closer to Christmas on making gifts for all the family.
Strengthening Adult and Child Connections through Art
Creating art together provides valuable opportunities for adults and children to bond. Here’s how these activities can strengthen your relationship:
Quality Time: Setting aside dedicated time for creative projects shows your child that they are important and valued. It strengthens your connection and creates lasting memories.
Shared Experiences: Working on a project together allows both adults and children to share experiences and learn from each other. It’s a way to support each other’s interests and develop a mutual appreciation for creativity.
Encouraging Creativity: Adults can model creativity for children, demonstrating how to approach problems and think outside the box. This encourages children to explore their own creative potential.
Our Family Art Activities at Faire & Co
In addition to our special workshops, we offer various activities at Faire & Co that promote family bonding through art:
Family Canvas Art Nights: Join us for family art nights where you can work on collaborative projects. These events provide a relaxed atmosphere for families to explore their creativity together.
Themed Art Sessions: Participate in themed art sessions that celebrate different aspects of family life. These sessions are designed to help families connect while creating unique art pieces.

Art and Craft Birthday Parties: Perfect to get the family together to celebrate your child's birthday.
Family Month at Faire & Co is more than just a celebration of art; it’s an opportunity to deepen connections, express creativity, and create lasting memories. Whether you’re making gifts for loved ones, participating in workshops, or exploring art projects at home, we believe that these activities will enrich your family life.
Embrace the joy of creating together and let this August be a time of artistic exploration and familial connection. We look forward to celebrating with you and witnessing the beautiful art and bonds that come from these shared experiences.
Remember, family is not just about blood relations but also includes those we choose to have in our lives. By investing time in these connections and activities, we enrich our lives and strengthen our bonds with those who matter most.
Here’s to an amazing August filled with creativity, connection, and family fun!
We look forward to seeing you in the studio and sharing these special moments together.
Let’s create memories and celebrate family this August!
