Artful Parenting Workshop

Formerly called the Adult Process-Based Art Workshop, this free 1.5 hour workshop walks parents and guardians through their child's process-based art experience. Additionally, participants will be prepared with tools to continue the learning experience outside of session into their home. This workshop is inspired by Jean Van't Hul book, "The Artful Parent".

​
