Decompress and tap into your creative side with process art! Experiment with a variety of medias and enjoy the journey of making art, rather than focusing on the end product.

Process art is just that: art that focuses on the process of creating, rather than making a specific project, craft, or work. Process art helps develop and tap into one's creativity, provide relaxation, and serve as an outlet for emotional expression. We'll get messy in this session, using a variety of materials to experiment with different artistic techniques.
