We have just opened a unique community workshop space called The Laboratory.
It's part unique children's classes combing science+arts where you learn chemistry by making perfumes and bath bombs, and you design your own robots from scratch and imagination, and students learn science with a Frozen-theme.
We will also be having adult DIY workshops taught by local artisans and makers.
They already published a piece about us, that explains it much better than I can. You can read it by clicking here.
It gives some of that elusive background information we haven't really spoken about on the blog. (We also didn't realize we were about to have our photo taken!)
We are still teaching full-time and running The Laboratory on weekends, some nights, and school breaks.
Of course, we wanted to include some dog-related workshops and to launch our Adult DIY classes, we are working with a local chef to have a workshop on Making Artisan Dog Treats.
And Miss M and Mr. B will be hosting.
Miss M wonders if she will be paid for her time in treats.
Stay tuned to our Laboratory Facebook page which will have the complete details to sign up. We are really excited about teaching how we want to teach, and we would love any help sharing our space and Facebook page and just getting the word out.
And it seems like the pups have already made themselves at home.

Congratulations! Our the pups going to be teaching their own class? I'm sure Ruby would sign up.
What a fantastic project! Wow, you guys really put your energies towards making a positive difference in the world. Best wishes for great success.

This looks awesome! Wish I was closer so I could join in the classes.
You guys! This is incredible! Congratulations!!
That is so cool!! I think kids will love it; hands-on learning is always the most memorable I think. Congratulations!
This is so amazing! Congratulations!
WOW!! That looks so cool! I bet it will be a huge hit!
An idea for a dog related class would be how to act if you encounter a service dog in public, as it seems that a lot of people have no idea. A local service dog handler might be willing to come and teach the class, or at least help with it.
How exciting! It looks like it is going to be fabulous. Best of luck.
Congratulations -- this is so, SO exciting!! You guys are amazing. And you have the cutest shop-dogs in Chicago!
This is so cool!
Oh man that is fantastic! We wish you the best of luck
Snorts,

This sounds terrific! Wishing you much success.
Amazing! What a beautiful space. I wish I could join!
This is incredibly exciting! The children and adults who are fortunate enough to attend sessions at The Laboratory are very lucky, indeed. I only wish I lived nearby so I could participate as well!
