Olivia Harvey is an avid sewist and upcycler who first learned how to sew as a kid right here at NRAS with Brooke Stanton — and she hasn’t stopped since! Along with making and embellishing her own clothes, Olivia also sells her upcycled creations through her online shop OHpleeze. She believes that everyone should learn how to sew because it makes life (and your closet) a lot more interesting!

During three 10-week sessions throughout the school year, students in grades 1–5 will explore and develop their artistic abilities in a fun, supportive, and nurturing environment. Children are encouraged to express their ideas, experiment creatively, and build confidence in their unique artistic voice.

Students will work with a wide variety of media—including drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, printmaking, and mixed media—while learning foundational art concepts through hands-on projects. Inspiration will come from artists throughout history and from diverse cultures around the world, helping students discover new ways of seeing and creating.

MinniYogi & NRAS: Mindful Artists (Sunday, October 11, 2026)

Sun, 11 Oct 2026 14:30:00 GMT

Join us for yoga and artwork at North River Art Society! Ages 3+

This is a super fun program designed to teach children the basics of mindfulness, meditation and movement. We’ll be using provided materials to make crafts for our yoga story flow lead by yoga instructor, Chrissy Sullivan.

We’ll also be learning helpful breathwork techniques to calm our nervous systems at any age! Each class will have an educational theme and will include partner and group poses, easy alignment tips and some singing and dancing!

To register a sibling: please add a "guest" at registration for discounted price.

Chrissy is a certified Vinyasa Yoga instructor with an additional specialization in youth and mindfulness. She has two beautiful babies who can often be found flowing beside her. Ever since she was a child herself, Chrissy has been drawn to a more spiritual and artistic way of life. She is greatly influenced by her grandmother, a lifelong montessori teacher and her great aunt, a Harvard professor and yoga guru. As a true nurturer, Chrissy has always been drawn to helping others. She believes it’s so important to start with our youth. If we can teach children the basic principles of yoga and how to calm their own central nervous systems we can directly benefit their lives and our communities as a whole. Chrissy created MinniYogi in 2020, a carefully curated yoga program for children and caregivers of all ages. The program includes flashcards which teach the child and caregiver the basics of yoga and meditation and how to apply them to everyday life. Chrissy incorporates the cards in all of her classes. Come join us for lots of silliness and learning! Because children learn best when having fun!
