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.
