Adult Art Workshops
Our Adult Creative Arts Workshops are for ages 13 and are offered a couple times a month. We have the pleasure of working with several artists in the community as well as our own in house instructors. Our workshops are always changing and depending on the season you can find art classes like cake decorating, glass etching, painting, knitting, paper crafts, mosaics and decoupage to name a few! These workshops provide a great opportunity to visit the studio for an afternoon, learn new skills, have fun, come with friends or meet new ones and best of all leave with a new piece of art!
