We will capture the spring blossoms of the cherry trees in acrylicpainting, sculpt a clay “Totoro” character from the popular Japanese film by Studio Ghibli, and include projects inspired by Japanese cuisine, too: Mochi, Boba Tea, and Sushi! Say “Kon'nichiwa” to a super fun and creative week ahead!
