We aim to create a space where adults feel safe to play, try, fail and succeed. We encourage each other and cooperate to learn together. "Research shows that engaging in an art project for as little as 45 minutes reduces the stress hormone cortisol, no matter your skill level, and how just one art experience per month can extend your life by 10 years!" - Susan Magsamen & Ivy Ross We are making Spring wreaths! We have the wreath forms and a ton of silk flowers but you are welcome to bring anything else you want to add. We will also create some simple flowers from felt.
