Customize A Party
I have so many party ideas and examples of parties and classes I have offered it would be overwhelming to list them all here for you. If there is a specific theme you would like me to develop a project for I can do that. For example I've recently done a 'Frozen' art party in which we made clay Olafs and learned how to draw characters. Maybe your party is pirate themed and you would like to make messages or maps in a bottle? Other basic art party ideas could include: cartooning, shrinky dinks, mask making, bookmaking....
