Some awesome info...
Happy 1st day back to school!
It's crazy how quickly summer flew by. CRAZY. But I guess time flies when you're having fun... right? Maybe?? I hope you were able to enjoy your summer (and it's still here... the best beach days are on the horizon!).
Just a reminder, I'm starting my 10 week "Be Brave & Create Mixed Media Thursdays" class this Thursday, September 1st! On certain Thursday afternoons for 10 weeks (see dates below), we'll be creating 8 awesome projects, different from projects we've created in the past, using all different kinds of mediums and skills. In a class that lasts this long, the girls make friends with their art sisters and really have a chance to better their art skills, motor skills and confidence. The last class will be an ART SHOW where the girls will do a presentation and show off their amazingly beautiful works of art to their friends and families with snacks and drinks! Along with the art projects, each week we'll have special "Weekly Wildflower Words" (including gratitude, bravery, uniqueness, and compassion) that we will discuss and think about. No experience with any of the mediums is necessary.
Sewing is always a fun challenge!
Group circle bracelet making!
Self-portrait mermaids made in a past class!
Some of the projects will include:
- watercolor painting
- macrame-like wall hanging
- sewing project (self-portrait dolls!)
- string art
- finger knitting
- acrylic painting
- collage
- jewelry design
The girls are always really proud to show off their masterpieces at the art show! They will each have the opportunity to invite a few friends and family members, and it's a blast! If your artist has participated in one of these in the past, the projects in this course will be COMPLETELY different! We will use SOME of the same mediums but making new creations.
Here are the deets:

Birthday Party Idea for your Artist!
Looking for a creative birthday party idea for your little one?? Let me plan a craft and clean up the mess while you and your artist relax and enjoy their special day! Dates and times are flexible. For preschool age, we create for about 1 hour then spend 30 minutes opening presents and eating cake. For ages 6-15, we create for 1.5 hours then spend 30 minutes opening presents, singing happy birthday and eating cake. I make a BIG Happy Birthday banner with their name on it and make the class special for them. I try to make it as easy as possible for you and your family so there is minimal stress associated with their birthday party!
