About the event

Children ages 2-5 are invited to join Ms. Kristen and get creative! Process art is child-directed and embraces the process of creating, rather than the end result.

This week, we'll make beautiful butterflies using cardstock, paint, and cotton swabs.

Registration is appreciated, but not required. Please dress for a mess. Can't wait to see what you create!
