Each week we’ll make a project using different materials and different techniques, so that you can get a feel for what you enjoy most. Options include acrylics, abstract pouring, watercolors, dry pastels, charcoal drawing, polymer clay, resin casting, block printing, and needle felting. (Class interest will determine the specific mediums and projects that we do.) All supplies are included!
