This was a different experience and so relaxing, with no goal requirements. Add different kinds of music to your wonderful collection of inspiring tunes.

The laundry line is great suggestion. I have just the clips for it as well. Next time you come to play it will be up. That way only the really drippy pieces have to be on a flat surface.

I truly enjoyed the freedom of painting without having to be an artist. There are no issues with creating anything except what comes out of your heart. The atmosphere is terrific; great music, tools, people, and an inspiring facilitator. I have two suggestions for improvement. One is that the paints and tools are placed on a few lazy susan's in strategic locations. The other suggestion is that a laundry line is hooked up to place the drying paintings (need cloths pins too). I loved the play date and plan on coming as frequently as possible!

Why should kids have all the fun? You need recess too, don't you? A little time away from the hustle and worry of day to day living? Treat yourself to a mini-vacation and rediscover the power of play.

Using finger paint, guided visualizations, & music you get a space where you can get reacquainted with your joyful, creative self. Get your hands dirty and your mind clear. Practice being totally in the moment, effortlessly, freely, joyfully.


Absolutely no artisitic ability required (but if you have some we'll let you play too). Everything you need is provided, even an oversized shirt to wear as a coverup (and to provide that kindergarten feeling). Wear comfortable clothes that you don't mind getting a little paint on. The cover ups don't cover everything, and not all the paints will wash out.


Cost: $25 per person. Pay at the door or register and pay on line at www.joyinhand.com/Registration.html


Can't make it this month? Mark your calendar for November 21 for the next playdate.
