Chicago Children's Museum opens new art studio

Visitors of the Chicago Children's Museum at Navy Pier have a new space to explore their artistic side.

The museum opened its doors to the new 2,000 square-foot Art Studio on Saturday.

Children and adults can manipulate clay at interactive Clay Discovery Tables.

Daily workshops are also led by trained artist-educators.

The hour-long workshops include painting, drawing, costume-making and puppet-making.

All programs are designed for school-aged children, with the addition of a special weekly workshop designed for babies, toddlers and preschoolers held every Friday morning.
