Featured Collaborations:

TinkerLab is a creative studio dedicated to sparking curiosity and a love for art through hands-on making. Our mission is to inspire creativity and experimentation in parents, educators, and artists of all ages, transforming everyday moments into creative adventures.

WELCOME!

Hi, I'm Rachelle. My earliest memory of making art is in the Kindergarten play yard, where I felt empowered to make creative choices that were free, deliberate, and in the flow.

Since then I've been surrounded by the generous enthusiasm of fellow artists, educators, and makers. Being part of a creative community is priceless, and I want to pass this enthusiasm and care along to you.

I'm here to help you expand and explore your own creative potential with the freedom, confidence, and joy that's inside of you.

Are you excited to unlock the magic of creativity for yourself or with children, creating art and memories that spark joy and imagination?

I’m so glad you’re here! I believe in making art an accessible experience that encourages exploration, self-expression, play, experimentation, and sheer delight in the process of creation.

TinkerLab has been around since 2010, and it’s packed with ideas, activities, and inspiration. Pour yourself a cuppa, get comfortable, poke around, and don’t hesitate to reach out if I can be helpful.
