ProFab Education at Glassell - Open Experimental Studio Pop Up

Come fab(ricate) Mardi Gras with us using cardboard and computers in the new year! ProFab Education’s fabrication workshops help kids bring their ideas to life using computers and machines to introduce digital fabrication to kids. ProFab Education’s projects allow kids to explore materials and technology, build skills, pursue passions, and grow confidence in experimental making. We especially invite East Baton Rouge Parish School families on Tuesday, January 6 while schools are closed.

These collaborative workshops are an extension of LSU College of Art & Design’s Open Experimental Studio Program which seeks not only to activate the gallery but to activate creative expression and ignite a passion for making. These programs offer families the opportunity to make together and in community. The Open Experimental Studio values process over product, experience over outcome, and communing over consuming. It seeks to create a supportive, open space for playful material exploration through making that is open and welcoming to all. LSU’s month-long artist-in-residence Open Experimental Studio will return in June 2026.

All programs and events are free and open to all.

These collaborative programs are supported in part by The Charles Lamar Family Foundation and LSU College of Art & Design.
