About Cloud 9 Workshop

Your Milwaukee Area Eco- Art Studio

Cloud 9 Workshop is an inspiring art studio for kids and adults, offering a variety of art experiences for ALL, including a Maker Studio, Parties, Workshops and Camps. We empower and inspire our participants to create fun and functional crafts from traditional art materials as well as re-purposed and recycled materials.  We are located at 5205 W North Ave in Milwaukee’s Uptown Crossing Business District.

 

Creative reuse with fine art practices

Cloud 9 Workshop is an Eco-Art Studio. That means we first look to create with materials we already have at hand. In the studio you’ll find a combination of reused and carefully selected art and craft materials. We LOVE asking “what can we make with this?” As professional artists and educators, we take the guesswork out of selecting tools, techniques and supplies. Everything is ready for you when you show up! Enjoy creative exploration with ease and encouragement. We focus on the details so YOU can get into a creative flow and enjoy the process! 

 

Our Story

Kelcey Kalumbula created Cloud 9 Workshop in 2012. The business name came to her while rocking her youngest in the wee hours of a warm summer morning. While the name came in a flash, the business has taken many years to develop. Today, the Creative Team at Cloud 9 Workshop includes 20 amazing instructors and studio assistants. Kelcey believes art experiences add richness to life & provide opportunities to explore & express thoughts, ideas, & feelings. Currently, she is working towards a doctorate in art education. Time with her family is what she enjoys most & her favorite collection is sea glass & driftwood.

 

Our Creative Team has over 200 years combined experience in working with kids and art!
