We are planning on having the children's art show in September, so we are hoping parents can bring back in some pieces for the show by then.
Also, just fyi, I would love to do private art lessons with older kids and adults if anyone is interested.  
Adult art and craft project classes will start back up in August.
We have some very cute 4th of July papers in at the shop :). Mom made this adorable centerpiece with some of the papers.

Our DIY this month is on how to make decorative fireworks. It helps to start with a tube of some sort. The plastic center of a tape roll, a narrow wrapping paper roll, or empty spool. If it's a wrapping paper roll, start by cutting it down to the height you want. Cut some cute patriotic paper in a strip the height of your tube. Glue it onto the tube, wrapping it around as you go. Next cut a circle out of red tissue paper. Make your circle slightly bigger than the top of your tube. Run a line of glue around the top of your tube. Place your tissue circle on top of your tube and fold the edges down onto your line of glue. For the wick, we used white floral wire, stuck it down into the tissue, and glued a gold star on top. And voila!
