Young Creative Thursdays

for ages 7 and up​

​

The perfect afternoon workshop for budding artists to explore the outdoors, get inspired by nature, and create something new each session from drawing to sculpture. This is an innovative space for kids to expand their imagination, experiment with a variety of materials, and create a unique masterpiece while learning new ways to express themselves.

Every session promises a new artistic challenge, fresh techniques, and a completed, unique artwork.
