Opening Pandora's Paintbox

CRAFTY—Amateur artists can explore their creative sides with displays like this at Pandora's Paintbox in Newbury Park. Pandora's Paintbox has opened its first walkin craft studio this summer at 16101 Newbury Road in Newbury Park.

The studio offers a familyoriented space with crafts for children and adults. Tools, materials and space are provided.

Crafting is said to help improve focus and concentration while providing hours of fun.

The studio has projects designed for all age groups, from preschoolers to adults. Young crafters can take part in several different craft stations that change frequently, and also create in the active art area and painting area.

Older children and adults can choose from several projects such as decoupage, wood painting, candle decorating, mobiles, and hand-sewing kits.
