Inspiring children

To share creative techniques and tools with children helps to empower them to express themselves in a creative way. The stronger the foundation of trust in their creative selves, the more likely they are to retain and use that power throughout adolescence and into adulthood. Art is such a powerful tool to express our selves when we are unable to find the right words or feel too shy or otherwise inhibited to express ourselves.
