Do you feel stuck in a rut? Need time to reflect on transitions? Long for an extended art-play date?

(Everyone has their own room!)

Art practice will encourage intuitive use of color and expressive mark-making with emphasis on process rather than technique. Materials provided or you can bring your own.
