If you have a little artist at home, you know how important it is to find a class or studio near you to help them explore their creativity. Because let’s be honest, writing on the walls, coloring on the cupboards and etching on the refrigerator are not acceptable forms of artwork. We here at Little Lake County have many little artists at home and are always on the lookout for classes to help hone their “craft” and thought you might be interested in a list of local places to take your children this winter!
