Try It Classes!

The days grow shorter and the first frost arrives. If you are dreading the arrival of winter, discover what a rich season it can be for renewal and personal growth. The cold temperatures and long dark nights that keep us inside are perfect for creative activities–learning a new skill or strengthening and existing talent. If you struggle with the long winter months, as I used to, a Studio class might just provide the antidote for your winter doldrums.


This season we are offering Try It classes to give you a chance to experience five different mediums to see which one you like best. The three-hour classes are very affordable, from $20-$40, and taught by some of our most requested instructors. So, why not try it? I guarantee you’ll experience winter in a new creative light!
