Find a place for your child – and your inner child – at White Rock art studio
Jennifer Findlay offers adult classes that help you unleash your inner child.
Expressing your inner child doesn’t always have to be a complicated process. It can be as simple as finding some paints, a canvas and some friends!
After all, as famed artist Bob Ross once said, “We don’t make mistakes. We just have happy accidents.”
It’s a philosophy close to the heart of Jennifer Findlay, who grew up in White Rock and is the owner of Creō Arts Studio – recently nominated for “Best Arts Studio” and “Best Kids Camp” in the Peace Arch News Readers Choice Awards. Findlay helps kids of all ages let loose and express themselves with affordable classes, workshops, drop-in’s and licensed school age camps at her inventive, original and vibrant space.
Creo Arts Studio offers many different workshops for creative projects.
“I wanted to create a space for all ages to enjoy where they can unleash their creativity as well as a space where parents can drop off their kids for an art class, camp or workshop and feel secure knowing that they are having fun creating in a safe and engaging space” Findlay says.
Kids hold their one-of-a-kind masterpieces from Creo workshop.
