The Animal Inside You | Tuesdays 10-11:30am | Ages 6-9 | $125-190 sliding scale
The Animal Inside You is a fun and interactive experience for students to explore blind drawings, collages, sculptures, paintings, and jewelry making, focusing on our wild friends, the animals.

Students will learn from the Animal Inside You how to worry less. We will work freely and animalistic(ly), setting thoughts of mistakes and perfection off to the side and working from the gut. 

Let your thoughts guide you directly to work that is free, fun, and full of expression.
