Art Lab and Makerspace

The Art Lab and Makerspace is a place for art adventures.

Join us in the summer of 2025 for a Makerspace (Issaquah’s only makerspace!) while also enjoying the signature Happy Time experience:

  • Social, in person, group learning environment

  • Relaxed vibe

  • Multidisciplinary

  • Your teaching artists are experienced professional artists across multiple mediums

  • High quality materials

  • Connect with other people who are exploring their creative sides

  • Dedicate time that is just for art-making, no distractions

In July and August 2025, Happy Time is opening a makerspace on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Each day offers an all ages session, and an adults only session. For all ages sessions, children under the age of 12 must be accompanied by an adult who has also paid admission. The various mediums listed below are the materials we will have on hand, including some ideas for projects! Please feel free to bring your own materials and projects of any sort, but to be as welcoming as possible, we cannot have toxic paints or materials with strong smells of any kind. Reach out if you have questions about what would be OK to bring.

Cost:

$20 per attendee per 2 hour session, or purchase a $150 ART LOVER SUMMER PASS for entry to all sessions. Passes may not be shared among different people. Passholders must reserve their spot by contacting us directly via email or website at least one week in advance.
