Workshops & Events
Learning and experiencing art is what we at Artsworth do. By providing unique workshops to our community members, whether they are children, teenagers, or adults, we are able to open the doors to creativity and show all who wish to learn about the beauty of crafting high quality work with your hands and heart. Workshops are held at 25 Pine Street and range from learning about how to manipulate molten glass to how to solder metal to how to sculpt out of clay or fiber. Our goal is to remain open to suggestions and ideas of how to meet the interests and needs of our community by providing a space for all teachers to share their craft with students of all ages. We hope that if you have a great idea that you wish to share with others, that you will come to Artsworth, share our space and share with us. Below you will find a list of current offerings: check back as our list is always changing! Teach a workshop!

Artist's Talk with Kristy Summers and Nikki Moser
Come join us for our first Artist's Talk of the year. We will be welcoming two sculptors who are new to the area to discuss their work and their process.Nikki Moser is a sculptor, fascinated by systems. Her work has manifested
itself in cast iron, printmaking, photography, mixed media, video and sound.
Driven by a desire to assemble objects and ideas in ways that recast light,
propose an alternate dialog and subtly implicate the viewer, her media
corresponds intimately to the concepts. In 2010 she co-founded Keystone
Iron Works, an Iron Casting program for at risk high school students, which
has been awarded two National Endowment for the Arts awards. She regularly
exhibits her work and has sculptures in many private collections. She sews,
likes playing with fire and makes excellent chocolate chip cookies.
