Beautiful Mess - 3:00-4:30pm
What are we making? Whatever you want -- and it's going to be beautiful. And messy. This once-a-month afterschool art program allows kids to focus more on the process than the product, whether we're using clay, watercolors, pencils or odds and ends. We might not know where this art project is going, but we'll have lots of fun getting there. For children of all ages; children 5 and under should be accompanied by a parent or caregiver.
Note for next month: On APRIL 13, during Beautiful Mess we will be making collage/paper art that kids can enter into the Unbound Book Art & Craft Contest.
