In a supportive and inspiring environment, children will not only create beautiful artwork, but also discover the magic behind famous masterpieces from renowned artists. Studio Kokoro provides all materials and tools, including high-quality supplies, so your child can dive right in and make their artistic vision come to life! These classes focus on creating a supportive, inclusive environment where everyone feels empowered to express themselves through art, and most importantly – has fun!
