Twirl

This month would have marked our 5 year anniversary of the opening of Twirl, our Park st. Art studio/Playspace. I had planned to celebrate it with the big announcement of our new Reggio Preschool Tinker Toddle and Outdoor Play Garden but instead I stood alone in this magical space that used to hold so much laughter and creative ingenuity. I stared at the tables that I built with my father for the studio and admired how they were covered with paint from all the littles over th...e years. They have become art in and of themselves. This community has graced not only my tables but my heart. Twirl has been my labor of love and I am not going to give up this fight. I slightly sanded these tables this week so that we can apply acrylic to them for ease of sanitizing with our new healthcare grade machine. I know that in time this acrylic layer will come off, our world will heal and we will rebuild and share our magic again. These tables in time will become covered with a new layer of paint from our littles. I just know it! In the mean time we want to assure our space is safe and that we are taking all the measures possible to comply with the recommendations given by the agencies and health professionals. WHAT’S PLANNED FOR TWIRL... We will no longer operate as an open studio/playspace model at least for the duration of the pandemic. We will offer outdoor camps at our new Play Garden/Tinker Toddle location (2225 Central ave) starting in June while our Park St. location undergoes the necessary modifications to open safely for small private camp groups late this summer.

To all the wonderful mothers today, you are amazing! Keep rocking it mama! Can’t wait to see y’all again. I made you all and your littles something special in our window. I hand blew these up and almost passed out yesterday so you gotta know I love you all. Stay strong and cheers to the better moments of this time. #happymothersday #twirlalameda #bringingsmiles #alamedastrong #downtownalameda
