Amanda will lead a brand new County Arts Lab Kids Creation Club this month!

Amanda will guide participants on an exploration of drawing, painting, hand-dying and block printing/stamping all as ways of creating surface design. Over the 5-week course, participants will have the chance to make their own patterns and designs on paper, fabric, and more! Registration is open now.
