Art for "The Biggest Kids"
A veritable dabbler's dream of art making for those Adult Children who have never "grown up".  Tasty samples of a little drawing, a little painting, collage, printmaking and whatever else we have time for.

This is a perfect class for the kid in you who isn't quite sure they want to invest a lot of time and effort before they have tried it out.
