We have lots of new projects planned and we will continue to have lots of fun with drawing and painting, and sculpture while learning more about all of our favorite artists..So, get your paintbrushes, pencils, clay tools, and scissors ready for an awesome new year…ONE MAN"S JUNK IS ANOTHER MAN"S TREASUREWe can use many things to make art that you might consider out dated or useless. I have listed a number of items that we would love to have.
