"Mom... Dad... Can I please take more Art Classes?!"
Does your child LOVE art? Work on their art for fun? Want to learn more about art?
Recently, I have been asked by several parents about where their children could take more art classes outside of their school art class. Well I have researched Pittsburgh and found several great options! They offer many different children's art classes, that vary in days of the week, times, and costs, as well as ranging in ALL types are materials. I If you have any questions, please contact me.
