In this class, we’ll create and paint beautiful, flowing Koi fish using mixed media. Koi are highly symbolic in Asian cultures, representing good luck, prosperity, and perseverance. They’re also associated with courage, transformation, and overcoming adversity. Plus, they’re fun to create!

All supplies included.

Please note: Hands will get messy, so please dress accordingly.
