Join award-winning photographer and artist Donna MacPherson in this 2-hour evening workshop as you create statement art pieces you can display throughout the autumn months. Using magazine clippings and the blank canvas of faux pumpkins, Donna will guide you step-by-step in this fun and messy mixed media art form.
saturday studio time for kids!
Saturday mornings are full of creativity, discovery, and fun! Led by experienced educators, students explore a variety of art materials, techniques, and creative ideas while building their artistic skills. Each class blends hands-on art making with engaging art education, giving young artists the freedom to create, experiment, and express themselves.
PAINTING FLOWERS with VIBRANT COLORS and ALIVENESS: spring 2027

Let go of perfectionism and tight painting while still capturing the beauty and essence of flowers in your paintings!
