A Field Trip They’ll Actually Remember

Let’s be honest — not every field trip ends up being “the best day ever.” But when kids get to make something with their own hands, everything changes. At Polished Prints, we’ve created a place where creativity takes center stage — and where classrooms, youth groups, and local organizations can connect, create, and have fun together.

Located in the heart of downtown Edwardsville, the Polished Prints Craft Bar offers a one-of-a-kind art experience that’s equal parts hands-on and heartwarming.

What a Group Visit Looks Like

Each group outing at the Craft Bar is totally customizable based on your age group, goals, and time frame — but here’s a little glimpse into what’s possible:

🧢 Decorate Your Own Hat or Tote Bag
Kids (or adults!) can choose from a wide range of patches, screen-printed decals, and iron-on designs to decorate tote bags, hats, or t-shirts. Whether it’s a school mascot, summer camp logo, or a favorite saying, the results are always colorful, creative, and full of personality.

👕 Screen Print & Customize Apparel
Our team will guide your group through creating custom Polished Prints-style tees, sweatshirts, or baby onesies — all printed right here in the studio using eco-friendly inks and classic design techniques. It’s fun, collaborative, and totally beginner-friendly.

💫 Build Something Meaningful Together
At our Charm Bar and Friendship Bracelet Station, guests design their own wearable keepsakes — choosing from hundreds of beads, charms, and color combos. It’s the perfect way to let each person’s creativity shine while still feeling part of something shared.

Perfect for All Kinds of Groups

We’ve hosted:

• 🏫 School field trips — bring creativity into the classroom (without the mess).

Make It a Whole Edwardsville Adventure

Many schools and camps make a day of it: start with crafts at the Polished Prints Craft Bar, grab lunch at a local café, and finish the afternoon at the Edwardsville Children’s Museum or Watershed Nature Center.

We can help coordinate timing, recommend nearby spots, and make sure your visit fits perfectly into your schedule.
