*** PAINTING WITH THE LITTLE ONES ***
Our studio hosts kids’ events from time to time so be sure to always check out our calendar to see what’s going on! We’ve been partnering with ‘Bubble Pop’, a fun, interactive, and fully-immersive place where you can place with bubbles (and paint and have pizza with our artists, too!)! These events have been super popular and the kids have been having so much fun! Bring your children out to paint, eat, and play with bubbles (and you too, as most of these events are Mommy & Me classes!).
We’re located in ‘The District’ in Tustin, and luckily for you and your little ones, ‘Camp District’ is coming your way! Bring the kids out for 3 different 2 hour camps where they’ll get creative and have a lot of fun with others their age!
The best part?? It’s FREE!!!
