Winter Workshops are a Family Favorite

kids and parents. Kids attend a twoday mini-camp to learn art history and
techniques through fun and creative
projects and activities, while parents get
some time for last minute shopping or just
some much-needed relaxation. These twoday Winter Workshops are on Monday,
December 19, and Tuesday, December
