Artspark Studio

Students will learn how to treat animals in kind ways. Many of our art and sewing projects are nature oriented – art is one good way to introduce nature and the environment. Students will take home a project after each workshop. *Artworks from ceramic workshops will be ready to pick up later, after they are kilned.
