A Creative Space Where Kids Feel At Home
Welcome to Bright Day Studio!
Located at 14 E. Lancaster Avenue in Paoli, PA, we’re a cozy, welcoming space where kids 18 months-10 years old explore the joy of art through open-ended projects and playful creative invitations.
At Bright Day Studio, the focus isn’t on creating a “perfect” piece of art — it’s about curiosity, experimentation, and the process of making. Along the way, children gain skills that reach far beyond the art table: problem-solving, resilience, creative thinking, and the confidence to try new things. These are tools they’ll carry with them for life.
Kids also spend time in our play space, where we join in the fun, encourage friendships, and help them feel comfortable. This intentional mix of art and play makes our studio feel safe, personal, and fun — a place where children can truly open up and shine.
Our programs include:
🎨 Art classes & clubs
✂️ Camps & playgroups
🎉 Birthday parties
🖌️ Open Studio days
💫 Special events & seasonal pop-ups
Parents can sign up same-day, up to an hour before class, making it easy to fit creativity into busy schedules.
Come join the fun — and let your child’s creativity shine today, tomorrow, and for years to come! Spots fill quickly, so sign up now.
Fall Schedule!
We’ve got fresh offerings for every child—from curious toddlers to big kids ready to dive deeper into art. Join us for hands-on projects, sensory play, story-inspired art, and plenty of fun along the way!
Process Art
At Bright Day Studio, we love process art — the kind of art that’s all about the experience, not just the finished product. We believe that when kids are free to explore materials, follow their curiosity, and make their own creative choices, they gain so much more than just art skills.
That said, we don’t do only process art. Many of our projects weave in techniques, tools, and themes that help build artistic skills — but always in a way that leaves room for personal expression and playful discovery.
We offer a thoughtful balance of structure and freedom so kids can:
Try new materials without pressure
Develop confidence in their ideas
Make art that’s meaningful to them
FAQs
-
Process art focuses on the act of creating rather than following steps to produce identical pieces. It encourages exploration, creative expression, risk-taking, problem-solving, following instincts and the pursuit of flow. Each piece of artwork may be vastly different.
-
Developmentally appropriate techniques, art vocabulary and some art history will be woven into our sessions. If you are looking for advanced art instruction, I highly recommend the Wayne Art Center or The Mainline Art Center.
-
Yes, of course! Sensory play is fun for all ages, but is especially important for younger children, as it allows them to explore & learn about their world, build hand strength and coordination for handwriting and fosters creative exploration.
-
Due to the difficulty of coordinating makeup classes, we are unable to provide make-up sessions or refunds for missed classes. We appreciate your commitment to attending classes as scheduled to ensure the best experience for everyone.
