Everyone wants one of these cute cuddly creatures as a pet! Here is your chance to Paint Your Own Highland Cow!

In this 2-hour workshop, Tracy will show how to paint this super cute highland cow using easy shapes to copy and how to put complimentary bright colors together.

This class is for children and adults ages 8 and up and up. Supplies will be included. Dress your child and yourself in clothes you wouldn't mind getting paint on. Acrylics do not wash out.
