No, this program has not been tested on animals. Why should kids be the only ones getting their hands dirty? If you have ever wondered what it feels like to gouge away at a linoleum block, or to wear a tank top of your own design, sign up for our curiosity sessions and liberate your inner artist!

PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED. For more information or to register, contact Holly at 323.937.4230 x28 or workshops@cafam.org.
