Moms & More: A Shared Creative Experience
Whether you're a mom, aunt, grandmother, guardian—or someone who’s simply made a lasting impact in a person’s life—Moms & More Edition is an inspiring way to connect through creativity.
These relaxed, guided drawing workshops are designed for two (or more) to create side-by-side—sharing laughs, learning new techniques and making memories. Whether the child is 8 or 108, this is time well spent together.
No experience required—just bring your curiosity and connection. We provide all materials (and treats!) for a welcoming, beginner-friendly art session that’s equal parts fun, reflective and personal.
Come draw, explore and connect together.
