Create, Play, Connect
Through the power of process art!
At Sunshine Crafting Company we believe in the power of hands-on creativity, and the magic that happens from making art in community. We offer process based art classes for kids, adult craft nights, and pop-up family events. Come create!
About Process Art:
Process art is a creative practice focused on the journey, not always the destination. As Meri Cherry, one of my art teacher inspirations, says: “It’s about the making and doing more than the end product.”
Play based learning:
As an early childhood educator, I see how kids find deep focus, satisfaction and confidence through hands-on experiential learning, and our Maker Lab is created with accessible structure that kids can play and explore within.
From sequins to cardboard boxes, materials as our teachers:
Kids can build upon their own creative impulses and ideas with open ended supplies and loose parts in what I like to call our “supply buffet.” We use a mix of both new, shiny, sparkly, shimmery supplies as well as "ready for a new life" recycled and repurposed items.
Creating in Community:
One of the coolest parts of class is when a kid shares a new art technique or style of using materials, which then sparks an inspired exchange of ideas within the group. Using gel pen ink to dye white glue pink? Try it, test it, and what do you think?
About Me:
Hi! My name is Brynne, and I come from a background rooted in play, creativity, and experiential learning. I’ve spent four years working in early childhood education, with the last three in a fully outdoor, largely child-led environment at Barefeet Farm School (shoutout!). In these settings, I’ve seen firsthand how intrinsic motivation blossoms when children are trusted to lead—allowing curiosity, confidence, and agency to truly flourish.
My own educational and professional path reflects this same philosophy. I attended Fairhaven College at Western Washington University, a self-directed program where students design their own majors. There, I studied Somatic Psychology and Audio Engineering, with a minor in Spanish, honoring my need for variety, choice, and embodied learning.
Since college, I’ve worked as a preschool teacher, paraeducator, live sound mixing and recording engineer, group home caregiver, and facilitator of arts and crafts workshops for kids and grown-up kids across Bellingham. I love bringing accessible, playful projects to adults and open-ended materials to children—then stepping back to witness the magic they create. I’m a passionate advocate for play and process-based art for people of all ages because I’ve seen its power to heal, connect, and transform.
Join me in remembering that creativity can express things when words fall short. I’m so excited to craft with you and see what we can create together! <3
