Participants will learn various techniques and how to work with different materials in creating the DIY art project.
Participants learned how to create a DIY sign from start to finish - and left with a finished project they can display. When asked what they learned from this program, participant comments include: "I usually don't feel like a very crafty person but I liked how I was able to try different techniques. It worked well - and they (teachers) offered great tips/help." "I learned a new skill - painting...and unlocked creativity!"
