Bring your favorite materials to paint or draw from a live model with one long pose.  Adults and teens of all skill levels are welcome to participate.  This is a time honored way to find your unique style.  No instruction is provided, however our moderator will be able to guide you if you get stuck. 

Welcome to acrylic painting! Using acrylics is similar to both watercolor and oil painting. The paint can be applied thinly as in watercolor techniques. Also, it can be applied thickly (impasto) and layered as in oil painting. Or, you can combine both approaches. It is very versatile and an enjoyable way into learning to paint. 

Instructor, Linda Vorderer, will lead you through the first basic techniques. Then she uses an individualized approach addressing what each participant is aiming to learn and do. Beginners are welcome, as are more experienced painters. We learn from each other. So, gift yourself this time to relax and enjoy the process of creating. 

Participants must purchase their own supplies before the first class or bring what you already have. We will discuss. A supply list will be provided once you register online.

Learn techniques and various approaches to create colorful images in transparent watercolor. Bring what you work with to the first class.  Linda will reach out to you before the session with a supply list.

Teens and adults of all skill levels, from beginners to intermediate and beyond, are welcome to enjoy this class. Instructor, Linda Vorderer, MAT, is a certified art teacher for ages K-12 to adult.

In this weekly hands-on class artists of all ages will create a brand new project each session.  From painting with acrylics or watercolor, to sculpture and mixedmedia, each week brings a fresh creative challenge and a chance to explore different materials and techniques.  All supplies are provided and projects are designed to be completed in one session.  No experience is needed, just curiosity and a love for creative fun!

If you would like to save money, purchase the "Make and Take Art Studio Bundle" which includes all four sessions for a reduced rate.

Registration closes twenty four hours before each session and no walk-ins will be permitted.  

Hone your figurative drawing skills with several poses by a professional figurative model. We will begin with shorter gestural poses and increase the duration, finishing with one longer pose. Bring your favorite materials to quickly draw or paint a variety of poses. Adults of all skill levels are welcome.

Join us for a delightful evening of creativity and community at our Pies & Paintings event! Whether you’re an experienced artist or just here for the fun, this relaxed paint party is the perfect way to unwind, laugh, and make something beautiful.

Enjoy a slice (or two!) of delicious homemade pie while our friendly instructor guides you step-by-step through a seasonal painting — no experience needed! We’ll provide all the art supplies, plenty of inspiration, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. For those of us who are more skilled we will also provide a still life scenario for you to use as well.

Invite your friends, family, or come solo and meet new creative neighbors. By the end of the night, you’ll leave with a full heart, a happy stomach, and your very own masterpiece to take home.

Join us for a FREE night out to watch a curated collection of movies about art or artists in the studio.  Bring your favorite snacks and BYOB for a relaxing night of cinema.  No registration is necessary, just save the date!
