Sharing some art (in action!) created by our beautiful friends from Revel, with guidance from our teaching artist, Anne Hunter.
Everyone played with high pigment ink to create their very own abstract masterpieces in this Alcohol Ink Art Workshop we did last month.
Thanks to everyone who joined the fun! 😊

Our chefs, errr -- we mean our art campers, made Japanese food! Yummy!

We wonder what's going to be on the menu next! We're excited! 😂
