"Our aim at the moment is just to make sure everyone is having a great experience with what we do, but we are open to opening up more art classes. There’s so many variations on what we can do because this room is so big and it’s given us the space to do almost anything we want."
This is an abstract paint class made for fun, getting to take home your art is a bonus and I had an absolute blast unleashing my inner child.
