Relax, Create, and Enjoy the Process

 

You don’t have to be “good” at art to enjoy the benefits of being creative. Whether you're trying something new like watercolors or simply enjoying the freedom of mixed media, our classes are all about self-expression, stress relief, and having fun. And if our current schedule doesn’t work for you, grab a few friends—we’ll help you create a class that fits your time and interests.

 PHOTOGRAPHY 

Adult

Discover the joy of photography—no fancy gear required! Whether you have a smartphone or a flip phone with a camera, this welcoming class introduces you to the basics of photography. Learn about composition, lighting, exposure, and how to capture meaningful moments. You’ll explore different photo styles, discover easy ways to enhance your images, and gain confidence telling your story through pictures—using the camera you already have in hand.
