Learn five surface embroidery stitches and translate them to express your own creative style of love. Embroidery is a code of beeps and blips, alternating to express a likeness or idea. Come translate your images/thoughts/love into embroidery code and you will be surprised at how your unique voice appears on fabric.
This is a beginner class, no prior knowledge of embroidery necessary.
Class includes an embroidery hoop, fabric & materials for your Valentine, and 10 skeins of embroidery floss to create your design. You will walk away from this class with a finished piece of art that you can hang on your wall, send to a friend, or stitch into the jacket of your sweetheart.

Join Emma Charlotte for Spontaneous Zine Making!!!
This workshop will cover a brief crash course on the history of zinemaking, a demo on common forms: the x-fold, accordion, and pamphlet, as well as a creative prompt to design and complete your own “spontaneous” zine. Zines are a constantly evolving, inherently community-oriented art form with punk, queer, and fandom roots. There is no barrier to self-publish – If you have a pen, paper, and ideas you want to share, you could be a zinemaker!
Bonefolders, x-acto knives, cutting boards, and blank copy paper will be provided, but participants are
encouraged to bring any personal art supplies such as colored pencils, markers, stickers, stamps, and collage material to make your zine stand out.
Light refreshments will be provided but you are encouraged bring a bag lunch.
Emma has a goal for the Ellsworth community to create a Zine Library for our town. We hope that this workshop kicks off your inspiration to add to this concept! Visit Emma’s website at: https://www.emmacharlotte.art

They are Back! Our popular holiday ornament making sessions!
Reservations MUST be made over the phone. please call 207-664-0222 to register. you will be scheduled to arrive during a one hour time slot
14 years or older, under 18 accompanied by an adult. Artsworth is wheelchair accessible.

This experience allows you to work with hot glass up close, while staying on the cool end of the glassblowing equipment. By its very nature, making an ornament happens quickly but it is so memorable and dramatic! Applying color to hot glass, heating it up and blowing it all happen in about 20 minutes! This is the perfect introduction to how hot glass works. After your ornament blowing is completed the ornament needs to be placed in a kiln to cool down and anneal (destress) overnight.
We hope to see you there! Happy Holiday season to everyone.
10am-6pm: The 14th Annual FireGathering!!!
Glass blowing! Blacksmithing, Artisan Demonstrations! Chestnuts Over the Open Fire and a Holiday Marketplace!
Artsworth and our neighbor Atlantic Art Glass, are so happy to invite you to a big ol’ community celebration on Saturday, December 16th. All day, the community will gather around the heat of the creative fires, alive with creativity and friendship, and we hope you will join us. Bring a Pot luck snack offering to share through out the day and get a grab bag gift-(while supplies last). Let’s get together on one of the shortest, darkest days of our year, and let this Fireathering encourage us all to share our light and welcome in the Winter season.
At 25 Pine St., Ellsworth, ME we will be doing what we love in the studio – blowing glass, blacksmithing, casting, enameling, and having fun with you.This open studio event is our way of saying “Hey neighbors! Let’s have fun while enjoying community and creativity together as we beat back the cold and dark of approaching winter.” Let’s take some time to visit, reconnect, meet some new friends, tell summer stories, and share winter plans. In our brick warehouse, we are hosting a marketplace featuring work by local artisans. It is a great opportunity to get last minute Holiday gifts for loved ones (or for yourself)!
A community-made blown glass art piece will be made at sunset by Linda Perrin of Atlantic Art Glass, and we hope you love being a part of its creation.
This event is free and open to all!
