Step into a colorful, imagination-filled studio where creativity is a shared adventure! In this kids’ art class, young artists (ages 3-6) and their caregivers team up to explore the magical worlds of beloved children’s book illustrators.

Each session introduces a new artistic style, from bold, playful shapes to dreamy watercolor scenes, sparking inspiration and curiosity.

Together, you’ll experiment with a variety of materials like paint, collage, pastels, and more, learning simple techniques that bring big ideas to life. Whether you’re painting, collaging, or drawing, the focus is on connection, creativity, and fun—not perfection.

This Series is designed to be a relaxed, welcoming space where grown-ups and kids collaborate, laugh, and discover their artistic voices side by side. By the end of each session, you’ll leave not only with a unique work of art, but also with memories made together.

Sit back, lay around, get cozy, close your eyes, and let yourself RELAX.

Allow your body to absorb the frequencies and vibrations, on a cellular level. Meditate, imagine, sleep, trance, to aid in your own well being, and paths to self healing.

Science, Spiritual History, and Myself, have combined testimonies, dating back thousands of years, that encourage sound as guides of creation. Many instruments, including Crystal Singing Bowls, Gongs, Chimes, Drums, Mantra, Chant, Spiritual Focus, and Reiki intention, are used to manifest this atmosphere of “Reiki Sound”.

The only way to really feel this though, is to EXPERIENCE it.

We encourage signing up, due to space considerations, but drop in is welcome as well. Donations are welcomed and much appreciated!

Comfort is utmost important, dress cozy. Please feel free to bring a lawn chair, floor mat, blanket, sleeping bag, pillow, beverages, snack, eye masks, your favorite aromatherapy scent, and teddy bear.

This event is hosted by Julie DeLeon, sound artist, reiki practitioner, and founder of the New Blue Light Vision Council.

Grab your sketchbook or art journal and favorite sketching supplies and come hang out with Mattie of Root and Pine Studio at French Creek Arts Collective at Cussewago square for the first monthly meet-up of the Sketchbook Club! 

This event is free and open to ages 18+.
