This unique technique allows you to create stunning art with 3D effect, keeping all secrets of creation under the glass. No matter what piece you create and what style you use, your painting will have a life on its own: changing colors, volumes every day
Working with wool is a meditative process with therapeutic effects where small motor skills exercise, calm down, and relax the nervous system. Maria will lead you step by step and help you finish this richly colorful artwork so its ready to hang.
Choose from three designs for each themed class.
