What if I'm not an artist or creative person?
No such thing. We believe everyone has an innate ability to create; for some people it just takes a little more practice than others, or, more time to find the right creative outlet. That is why we offer all different creative workshops that teach and highlight varieties of skills. "Every child is an artist. The problem is how we remain an artist once we grow up." - Pablo Picasso  
What if I haven't done art or a craft since Kindergarten? 
No problem. Our workshop was created for people with all levels of artistic abilities. Whether you've never picked up a paint brush or create on a regular basis, you can always learn and develop new skills from our creative workshops!
