What does an art party look like?
Guests arrive and settle in, we make some art (while parents are schmoozing, hanging out, shopping in the bookstore), clean-up, and then gather together for some present opening (if you want to include that in your celebration) and eating. It’s relaxed, fun and a chance for kids to celebrate the birthday child while also being engaged in an activity!
When?
Parties happen on Sundays from 10-11:30am or 1-2:30pm.
How many kids?
Maximum 10 art-makers. Additional non-art-making guests — like family and friends — are always welcome.
