Please share this with friends and parents of creative kids. This is the first summer in over 20 years that the summer schedule doesn’t seem to reaching the right people. I made the schedule, got the supplies, and so far I have just 1 sign-up for all but one session. Session 3 is a go. If I can get a few more kids, the ones already signed up won’t be disappointed. And it’s a great way for kids (and me) to spend a few hot summer afternoons making cool art. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been cleaning and organizing the studio, and these guys have been sprung from their cardboard prison on the shelf. Who knows what might happen next…<\/p>\n\n\n\n
