Chalk Art Workshop to be Held!

Chalk art is an art experience where you color on a blackboard with a pre-drawn sketch using non-erasable oil pastels. Even with the same design, the finish varies depending on the color choice and application method. You can create a one-of-a-kind original piece. You can also enjoy creature art unique to Korep, such as cute Leopard Geckos, Crested Geckos, and Bearded Dragons!

It's easy for those who are not good at drawing and for small children, so it's also recommended for parent-child participation.

*This is a paid workshop.
