Studio Night for Parents!

Come for an evening of creative play in the studio! Studio night is a time for parents to relax and create something together that the children can then discover and build on. It’s a joyful thing for the children to find the traces of parents “work” in their spaces, and a beautiful way to share a creative experience.
