DRIPPING SPRINGS — One family was inspired to bring art classes, creative and wellness workshops and afterschool enrichment sessions to the city of Dripping Springs by way of a community space called Sanctuary.
The faces behind the space, husband-and-wife duo Paulina and William Armstrong, aim to have Sanctuary be a community hub for art classes and workshops, collaborating with local artists and creators. The founders come to Sanctuary with their background in art education, specifically Waldorf — a holistic and creative approach based on Rudolf Steiner’s philosophy back in the early 1900s that nurtures the whole child intellectually, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
“It’s really about the development of the whole child through a lot of things, like art, things like handwork, music, handwriting [and] really not any emphasis on media, screen [and] things like that until high school,” William explained.
