PLEASE NOTE
We treat this Art class like a working Art Studio. We will be using paint, clay, and other messy materials. Even washable paint is difficult to remove from certain light color fabrics. Please make every effort to not wear white or light colors, white shoes, or your most expensive outfits on art day. We do have aprons but even those do not always work when kids are being kids.
