(Age Recommendation 8+)\nAdvanced: For those looking to explore intricate textures and spiritual themes.\n\nNo matter which design you choose\, our instructors have broken down the journey into a simple 5-step self-paced process. You’ll learn the basic building blocks of creating a masterpiece—from the first stroke to the final detail—at your own speed. \nWho Should Attend?\nThis is a community event!
