No painting experience necessary - just bring your imagination and I'll provide all the materials you need. It's a great way to unwind, socialize, and create something special to take home with you. Don't miss out on this crafty event! I will be painting a Fall pumpkin theme on the front (as shown in the photo) and a black starry sky on back with my name (as shown). The main photo shows examples of what people can do on their own. You can follow along with me or create your own design with a selection of colors. One bookmark per person - each person picks a tassel or twine for your bookmark. Recommended Age: 13+ This event is being held at the Auditorium room at Restoration Convenant Church. It is a private event and is not affiliated with the church.</image:caption>
