Last Saturday, we hosted our very first parent + child canvas painting workshop. What an amazing time we had! 🎃🎃

Seeing kiddos and their grown-ups making a memory together and painting side-by-side was such a great feeling. And it’s safe to say the parents had just as much painting fun as the kids!

Who wants to come to the next one?!

As we head into this new session, I have to take a second to show off the hard work from our Creators Club Artists who just wrapped up their Fiber Art class last week. We had SO many artists this session, I can’t fit them all into this post, but here are a few photos we snapped! How amazing?! 👏🏻
