Exploring Art

Let your creativity flow! Explore both sophisticated art and everyday crafts. Your self-expression and artistic experience are as valuable as the wonderful project you take home each week. For beginners or experienced artists. Projects may include: holiday crafting, stenciling, ceramics, soap making, mobiles, woodwork, planters, centerpieces, jewelry making, paper mache, scrapbooking, sculpture, printing and more. You will be amazed at what you can do!

For those who benefit from an individualized and sensory approach, this program delivers a different weekly theme presented in a multitude of stimulating ways to use your senses: taste, touch, smell, sight and sound.

This is an interactive experience, with “hands on” for group members and guidance from SPARC professionals.
