“An experience from the perspective of a parent”: new Baby Crafters workshop at the Charlotte Street Art Centre

On Wednesday, March 12, 2025, the Charlotte Street Art Centre began offering a “Baby Crafters” workshop, aimed towards new parents. Tiziana Zevallos, the workshop’s coordinator, noted that Baby Crafters is open to all parents, but tries to specifically address the isolation that many new parents feel. The workshop runs from 10:00am to noon every Wednesday and Zevallos provides all the materials necessary to participate. The Charlotte Street Art Centre itself takes special precautions to accommodate a workshop centered around babies, including a deep clean of the room the workshop takes place in. Zevallos noted that many parents benefit from both the artistic outlet Baby Crafters provides and the sense of community it fosters.
