We are currently on a waitlist for this workshop, but please sign up in the event that a family cancels and we can fit you in.
Join us for a fun and creative kids’ art workshop where we’ll turn ordinary portraits into playful, imaginative masterpieces! Inspired by mixed-media collage, kids will transform old images with bursts of colorful, hand-painted flowers, abstract patterns, and doodles. Using a mix of paint, markers, and collage techniques, they’ll create expressive, one-of-a-kind artworks that blend reality with fantasy. Perfect for young artists eager to explore bold colors and let their creativity run wild! 🌸🎨✨
