Painting is a wonderful process of making strokes, lines and shapes, applying the primary colors to work and creating millions more, is all part of painting. We explore mixing and planning compositions and colors, and explore techniques of painting on paper, canvas, glass, clothing and even a piece of furniture!
Drawing is a good thing! Learning the foundations of drawing can lead to other creative art making projects. We enjoy a variety of ‘how to’ techniques and everyone feels like a budding artists. We offer a relaxed opportunity to learning and feeling creative while exploring the wonders and delights of art making.

Collage, an assemblage of different forms, flat or raised, failed art paintings and ‘stuff’ otherwise discarded, is a creative process to making new art. Collage is often composed of numerous materials like paper, newsprint, photographs, ribbons or other 'attachable thingies!
Needle Felting is a craft that anyone can learn. It's a matter of having a few needles, some foam, and wool in the form of roving or yarn. After that, you can pretty much embellish anything.
