Decorations around the house during the holidays emphasize the importance of arts and crafts in our lives . Future dreams and inspirations neatly woven to the heritage and foundation of the past develops healthy self-esteem and provides an amazing glimpse of our personality . You can share those traits through gifts made at Viva Art ! in New Albany .
Whether you want a kit that can be worked on at home or want to enroll in a painting class with your family or friends , Viva Art ! allows you to celebrate with others and express your creativity . Owner Jeanne Winrich and her team will walk you through every step of the creative process . You will create incredible memories while leaving with a piece of art that you will be proud to give as a gift .
One of the new additions at Viva Art ! is the Candle Creation Station . You chose the vessel , scent , and color of the candle and you will learn about candle care , melting temperatures and a host of other information . The candle experience takes less than an hour , but the candles must cool at least two hours before they can be taken home . Candles are always a welcome gift at the holidays .
