For Families
Process art is all about the experience children have while they’re creating. If it has a nice end product, that’s great, but the end product is NOT the focus of process art. We will offer a variety of materials for you to create anything you would like.
NO NEED TO REGISTER—just drop in during the hour and get ready to create!
