The Animal Inside You


For Fall 2022, Rhizome is pleased to offer a range of in-depth programming, facilitated by practitioners, for homeschoolers and afterschoolers. These will be small, friendly, relaxed classes focused on creative collaboration and open-minded engagement with the material. Please email info@rhizomedc.org with any questions. Scholarships available. MASKS REQUIRED.

Class begins October 4 and runs through November 15. Seven weeks total.

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.
