Wet Felting Open Studio

Join us for Felting Open Studio from 6-8 pm on Tuesday nights. This is a time and space for anyone with basic felting experience to come and felt in community with others. There is no need to be an expert. During these hours, students should bring their own projects to work on. This is not a led class, but more of a working studio where questions can be addressed to peers. We hope to create an environment where students can experiment and get creative while having a community of support and inspiration!

Pop Art Valentine Painting

In this special Saturday class, students will learn about the pop art movement and American pop artist Jim Dine. They will look at his piece, The Confetti Heart, and be inspired to make their very own colorful heart paintings on canvas. They will then be able to share their hearts with family and friends for Valentine's Day!

Fancy Fascinators

This fun course is just in time for Mothers Day or even the Kentucky Derby. Come learn how to make an adorable straw fascinator! What is a fascinator, you ask?
