Sparkling Butterflies

The Young Artists Class will meet this Monday, April 20, at the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center in the same room as the Gift Shop. It will begin at 4:30 and end at 5:45. The following classes will continue to meet every other Monday.

Get ready for a fun and creative project in our Young Artists Class as we design and build our very own sparkling butterflies!

Students will begin by painting beautiful butterfly wings using watercolors on mixed media paper. Once dry, they'll cut out their wings and add extra flair with glue designs and bright neon glitter for a magical, textured effect.

Next, we'll bring our butterflies to life by building the body using colorful poms, a wooden craft stick, and pipe cleaner antennae. We'll finish it off with wiggly eyes and assemble everything together to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece!

The class fee is $15.00 per child per class, including supplies. We accept Credit (a 3% Merchant Fee will be added to your credit payment). There is no charge for caregivers, and you are welcome to join as long as seats are available—which is usually the case. All materials provided — bring your imagination and get ready for fun!

Please let us know if you have any questions. I hope you and your child can join us.
