We’ll channel childhood summer camp as we form foam-clay trinkets and try out fiber/textile projects (think: friendship bracelets, yarn pom-poms, and cheeky award badges). Give yourself permission to play and scratch that crafty itch in a fun and beginner-friendly environment. Picasso famously said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Art Club for Grownups is a good place to start.
