🎨 @saplingsatx is a process art studio in Northwest Austin that we love!
@saplingsatx
📍 9308 Anderson Mill Rd Suite 200, Austin
They have camps, after-school classes for elementary school kids, and parent/child classes for kids ages 1.5-6. They are booking now for fall classes!
We love the laid-back and messy approach to art here. Kids are encouraged to get creative and do things their own way! We enjoyed making fluffy slime, creating a fairy world with homemade playdoh, and playing in the rainbow rice. 🥰
