We’re excited to be bringing even more creative fun to the Marion, Ohio area with local artist Lindsay Criswell of Branch & Stone Studio!
More than Art
Since the beginning of human existence, art has been used for communication, self-expression, problem solving, and socialization. As time has gone on, we have a better understanding of many of the benefits of creating art.
Branch & Stone Studio offers individual and group sessions that cater to these essential needs for all.

Art for Development (Children)
Not being heard can bring on feelings of isolation to anyone, including children. Art can hurdle verbal roadblocks such as language, limited vocabulary, and even the inability to speak. Communication can be expressed during a project or through working directly with an instructor.
Self-expression can be extremely important for overall mental health for any child. Art can be a healthy emotional outlet, reducing anxiety, anger, stress, and sadness. Additionally, art boosts self-esteem which can empower a child to conquer tasks and goals over a wide range of areas beyond art.
Branch & Stone Studio uses art to aid motor skill delays, sensory desensitization, direction following, and working socially with others to achieve a goal. As a child starts to explore and conquer some of these areas, they can apply creative problem solving to bridge gaps they encounter for years to come.
