Workshops
This is a past event. Participants were delighted to discover a fun group of other people to play with, as well as two highly-skilled guides who helped them "relearn to be creative."
- Toni & Matt are great -- they pushed us to create a lot of stuff without making it forced or weird!
- I think everyone should try being like a kid and do it in such a welcoming environment.
- It was revitalizing, pushes me as an artist in different directions, helps re-inspire [me]
