Whimsy for grown-ups. โฅ
An after-school club for adults who never outgrew toys, arts & crafts, dressing up, or show & tell. The club is made up. The objects are real, handmade, and frequently one of a kind.

The bell rang.
Welcome to an after-school club for people who never completely outgrew toys, dressing up, making things, or show & tell.
Everything here is made by hand in small, slightly chaotic batches โ art objects, accessories, clothing, toys, and oddities. Some of it is useful. Most of it is just extremely fun to own. Many pieces exist exactly once, so when one goes home with somebody it is genuinely gone.
-
Handmade, not mass-made
Small batches. Visible glue. The occasional crooked staple we have decided is a feature.
-
Nostalgic, not childish
Nineties art-room energy made for adults with jobs, rent, and a growing collection of tiny plastic animals.
-
Everybody gets in
No tryouts, no cool table, no minimum weirdness requirement. Members always welcome.
Today's Show & Tell
Fresh from the art room. Bring it home, put it on a shelf, explain it to guests at length.
Pick an Activity
Six periods, no schedule. Wander into whichever room looks loudest.
Show & Tell
One-of-one art objects. Each one exists exactly once and then never again.
