Creative Exploration Through Expressive Arts with Lisa Geddes & Jill Dawson Nowack

This two-day workshop welcomes both experienced artists and those that are just starting to embrace their creativity.

This is an opportunity to enjoy the creative process rather than the finished product.
Creatures Great and Small: Painting Birds and Animals in Acrylics with Janice Robertson
