SUMMARY:Parent/Grandparent & Child Watercolor Class

At the end of class\, all guests will leave with two beautiful pieces of watercolor art and a special memory with you and your child/grandchild.Ages 6+$30.00 for (1) combo ticket\nIntroducing Guest Instructor Julie Rouse. I live in Rotterdam with my husband\, 2 daughters and dog\, Mr. Jaxxy Boy. I am the owner of the ArtTEAsta Art & Tea studio\, also located in Rotterdam\, NY. My passion is community and teaching people of all ages new things\, especially art as a form of therapy and the intentional use of time with others. Art has been an outlet for me when life gets a little crazy. Art allows me to slow down and refocus my energy in a positive way so I can approach each day with a clear and focused Mind\, Body and Soul.\n\n\n\nTicket Policy \nAll ticket sales are final.

Thank you for understanding and for supporting our small classes and creative offerings.
