All skill levels are welcome—from novices eager to learn to experts willing to share their wisdom. Our event offers a unique blend of creativity and camaraderie. Engage in stimulating conversations and build friendships with fellow crafters as you explore visual thinking strategies to discuss and appreciate artwork.
