Artists paint, print, sew, weave, and use resin, beads, wire, and clay. Kids will create stunning work to take home and proudly display, develop essential fine motor skills, enhance concentration and attention to detail, and build self-confidence through hands-on learning and experimentation. All materials will be provided. After brief technique instruction, artists choose their media, engage their imaginations, and CREATE! Schedule is subject to change based on the child’s interests
