Boo! (…but like, in a friendly way.) In this delightfully eerie art session, you’ll create your very own ghostly portrait—think sweetly spooky rather than bone-chilling.

Whether your ghost ends up adorable, mysterious, or a little silly, you’ll leave with a one-of-a-kind piece that feels like it wandered out of a whimsical haunted house. Perfect for lovers of cozy scares, quirky spirits, and the occasional “boo” with a smile.

You bring the creativity and we'll bring the materials.
