Family Workshops

Designed with younger children in mind (ages 5-12 with chaperone), our family workshops encourage children and their caregivers to explore architecture through hands-on activities each month. Workshops begin with an exploration of exciting examples of architecture and activities that highlight the design process. Then, the kids are off–designing and building their own structures in a whirlwind two-hour workshop that culminates in a group presentation. 

Family Workshops will be hosted at the Center for Architecture and Design (1010 Western Ave, Seattle, WA). 

We offer no-questions-asked scholarships for all SAF Family Programs. For details about scholarships please email info@seattlearchitecture.org.
