Art-Cade is a different kind of workshop that we’re testing out, this May 9th and 10th. We invite you to our studio to create one of four carefully curated art projects. We provide the supplies and enough instruction to get you set up, then leave you to the making!
Mini Acrylic Painting
Find the joy of painting with low-stress dedicated painting time, where we provide all the materials so you can get to the making. You can choose to follow along with an example, or paint whatever your heart desires!
Treasure Bracelet
Learn an impressive new skill: the art of making Treasure Bracelets! These bracelets look complex and are sure to make a statement, but are surprisingly easy to create. Delve into our extensive bead collection for an ultimate custom jewelry experience.
3D Photo Frame
Create a fun, funky frame using air-dry modeling clay. We have tons of colors to choose from and plenty of photos for inspiration, from minimalist modern shapes to cute creatures. The sky’s the limit!
Screen Printed Tote
Create a drawing, transfer it to a screen, and use it to screen print your design on a cotton tote bag using fabric printing ink. Plus - you get to keep your screen, either to use in the future on your own, or to hang up as a unique piece of artwork.
