Artscope offers a variety of creative opportunities on Sunday afternoons, mostly for kids in Kindergarten and up, but some are for adults too! Sunday Fundays are focused on culture, ecology and artistic skill-building, and there is a different activity each week. Participants will learn lots of different types of art skills, some using beautiful Tower Grove Park as an inspiration. They include origami, clay, bookmaking, 3D crafting, puppet making, painting, papermaking, natural dyes, and more.
Registration is requested.
2 to 4 p.m. on Sundays, Sept. 16 through November 18. Drop-in classes are $20 per person with a 25% sibling discount. You can also register for the entire 10-week series. Classes are held at Artscope's Creative Cottage in Tower Grove Park.
