CRAVE4ART: Registration for our winter session will open on December 16th @ 8pm

More about Crave4Art: After years of experience being creative as a set designer and spending years doing workshops in school settings, I decided to expand and offer these fun sessions for all kind of events. I have always craved to create and have so much pleasure to see people smile and joy at the end of the night.
One of my secret sauce is creating sessions that anyone can enjoy – from the crafty art-lovers to people who cringe at the idea of holding a paintbrush. Everyone will be proud of their creation, will have fun, and create durable memories with friends and coworkers.

Students will learn new projects and ways to approach art in this 8-week session.
