Anybody stressed? Constant barrage of history-making news got you feeling off balance? It’s not just me, right?

This Sunday, spend some time in a judgement-free, zen zone, breathing deeply and focusing on nothing more than your brush on paper. Ahhh... Crafternoon: Mindful Watercolor will leave you feeling calm and refreshed. And the best part? It doesn’t have to BE anything. It’s just for adults, so let’s get together and unwind a bit.

We recently traveled through time and space in Art Through the Ages Camp. We began in pre-historic times with cave paintings, skipped around through ancient Egypt and Greece, visited the Italian Renaissance, French Impressionism and Pop Art of the 60’s, and even snuck some Basquiat and Kandinsky in for good measure! The highlight of the week was our visit to to see some of the art we learned about in real life.
