Teaching artist Amy Ohlson will provide guided step by step instruction so everyone can walk away with a masterpiece. While everyone’s brushes are busy, they will enjoy seasonal snacks that capture the cozy spirit of autumn. This is a relaxed, fun-filled event perfect for beginners and experienced young artists alike. Come ready to explore, create, and snack your way through the magic of fall! Amy Hartmann-Ohlson earned a BFA in ceramics from Mason Gross School of the Arts and a Masters in Art Education from Kean.
