More Class InformationParticipants will each receive an individual puzzle. They will be presented with various materials for decorating the pieces (acrylic paint, collage supplies, stickers, markers, etc.) and instruction on using them. Participants are encouraged to express themselves and really make their pieces their own. They can decorate the pieces with images, words and phrases that represent them (musical instruments, pets, favorite foods, hobbies, interests, etc.). Their puzzle can have a theme/overall design or they may treat each piece as its own design. Once the pieces are complete and dry, the puzzle will be reassembled. Participants will keep their finished puzzle.
