Kiddo Classes
These classes are intended for kiddos ages 6+ years old. We will focus on process and not products. With these older Kiddos though they will be able to produce wonderful products to bring home. We believe that NOW is the time to instill a practice of art for your tiny humans and we are so excited to share OUR love of art with your children!
