Welcome to a joyful space where young artists explore, imagine, and create at their own pace! In this open-ended art experience, children age 18 months to 4 years are invited to engage with thoughtfully curated materials - from paints and pastels to clay, cardboard, and found objects - designed to spark curiosity and self-expression. Rooted in the belief that the process of making is more important than the final product, this class encourages exploration over instruction, allowing children to follow their own interests, build confidence, and develop fine motor skills in a nurturing, child-led environment. Caregivers are active participants, supporting and witnessing their children's creative journeys while connecting with a like-minded community. Each week brings new textures, tools, and inspirations - because the possibilities are as endless as a child's imagination. Fri: 20 sessions Except Dates: Feb 20, Apr 10, Jun 19 Age: 18 months to 4 years
