We can all use a little more play in our day. In this series of workshops, we will practice some new ideas to get your creative juices flowing. We will play with some new ideas, try to lighten up, and enjoy your practice. In each workshop, we will try a new idea with minimal materials and cost, so we can experiment with low risk and stress.

This is a series of individual classes; you can try one or all. Register through our website.
