This is your creative corner of the internet where families, artists, and curious minds can connect through real stories, hands-on projects, and small-town inspiration.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Behind-the-scenes glimpses of life at the studio

  • Affordable art project ideas for families and kids

  • Community highlights and event previews

  • Honest reflections on why making art matters in everyday life

 

Our blog is rooted in the heart of Rice Lake, Wisconsin—but the spirit of creativity knows no bounds. Check back often to see what we’re working on, get inspired, and maybe even find your next art adventure.

Let’s create something together. #BeCreateful, Jennifer.

Why Kids Thrive in Creative Spaces

Kids today are growing up in a fast-paced world where pressure and performance are everywhere—school, sports, even social media. That’s why spaces like LK Art Bucket are so important. Here, we believe in letting kids be kids. Messy, curious, imaginative, and wonderfully weird.


When children engage in hands-on art, they aren’t just making pretty pictures. They’re learning how to solve problems, express emotions, think critically, and build confidence. A child who might struggle in school can suddenly light up when handed a paintbrush or invited to shape clay.


Our summer art camp, for instance, is built around more than just fun crafts. Each day offers new challenges, themed projects, and a space where kids know there are no mistakes—only discoveries. We work to keep our projects accessible, using low-cost supplies and smart planning, so every child can enjoy a wide range of materials without overwhelming costs.


And we see the difference it makes. Kids leave our classes a little taller, prouder, and more willing to take creative risks.


Next Step: Learn more about our summer camp or drop-in kids' sessions. Investing in your child's creativity now is something that will serve them for a lifetime.
