Whimsy Makers is run by Cassie Wanda a passionate mixed-media artist, whose goal is generally “make it whimsical and silly.” She focuses on creating imaginative work that blends fine art and craft. She especially enjoys projects that combine storytelling with visual art, helping students connect imagination, narrative, with hands-on making.
From the site: Our Art Camps keep kids actively engaged working with a variety of instructors, mediums, and techniques. Classes are led by professional studio artists in drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, beading, mixed media and more! Kids will complete individual and group projects to develop creativity and art skills.
