What a lot of classes are held at your Gallery Wendy. You have so much going on in your neck of the woods. It must be very rewarding teaching the little ones but probably quite a lot of hard work as well. I think the things kids produce are amazing though. They don't have the same boundaries as adults so everything is much more spontaneous and free.
