Do you love to draw? Ms. Carrie does. DROP IN for a drawing club where you can learn to draw a few items & then have time to color & share your creations. Each session will have a unique theme.

No registration required.

Let's get together and DRAW!  During each drop-in session, you will have the opportunity to learn to draw a few things with Ms. Carrie AND/OR draw on your own using a variety of "how to" drawing cards and books. There will be an "art buffet" of materials available to use to add color to your creations. You can even bring your own colored pencils, markers, etc. to use if you wish.

During this special fall session, we'll draw all things Halloween- think spooky houses, ghosts (probably cute), and even trick-or-treat candy come to life. We'll learn how to make a mini "popsicle stick" wall hanging frame to display your favorite creation.
