There is more to painting than just the finished product. The journey toward the end is what makes the finished product meaningful.
At our parties, you not only get to BE the artist behind your masterpiece, but you also get to explore deeper parts of yourself through guided reflection and activities. Growing as an artist by learning visual art techniques, while also growing personally; a living double entendre.
