Clothing:
We will be painting, drawing, sculpturing and using really messy medium during our classes and events, and we encourage our students to take chances when creating art. The Studio provides aprons for all students but it is not mandatory. Children learn better when they feel comfortable to move and explore, so we recommend students to wear comfy play clothes and shoes that can get a bit (or a lot) of paint on it!
