Coachella Art Studios
Elevate your outfit and state-of-mind at the Art Studios. Free sustainable fashion and jars of jewelry are in abundance. Colorful clay to sculpt and markers to draw with are all around. You can even customize an aromatherapy scent to relax and remember the experience by. These crafts, and SO many more are all free, you just have to make it to take it.
