Art Explorers: Watercolor Gel Crayons!

Let's explore with some simple art supplies! Rather than focusing on a specific project, we'll try out different tools and techniques each month.

Back due to patron request, this month we'll experiment with using watercolor gel crayons. We had a fantastic time with these back in June and many families have asked to use these again!

First we draw with them, then we paint over them with water! These are washable paints, but please do not wear your finest!

Class begins at 10:00 and we'll clean up together at 10:45.

For ages 3 and up, with an adult.
