This event is a part of our Family Art Making Circle series.
These circles are for children and grown-ups who would like to explore the art making process together. Held every other Saturday, these circles more often than not would have a theme, yet, they may not be necessarily about finished masterpieces. We envision these circles about discovering together what art making is about and nurturing the creativity we all have.
