In these workshops, an instructor leads a class where you can learn new skills and end up with your very own piece of art to take home. From journaling, to collaging, to painting, we’ve done it all! We provide all the supplies you need and encourage you to bring snacks and drinks! We hope you make a mistake, try something new, form a new friendship and most importantly have fun!
