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!

Emi Ito Pops in to help celebrate Maine Craft Weekend!
Emi Ito, of Bath Maine, will be popping into the studios at 25 Pine St. Ellsworth ME to demonstrate her freestyle weaving during the weekend!Emi Ito will be visiting Artsworth, the hub of creativity in Ellsworth Maine during Maine Craft Week-end. She will show her collection of fine and fun wearable scarves and accessories for sale. In the spirit of celebrating creativity Emi will demonstrate her craft so others can see the magic of the making in person.Emi Ito began her explorations in weaving from an early curiosity about form and texture that led her to take a Japanese Saori free-form weaving class, which emphasizes individual expression. The looms were already set up, and with few instructions, she says, “you could just pick your yarn and start weaving.” She has since studied and tried more traditional pattern-weaving techniques, but still prefers the freestyle method she first experienced in New York. It's infinitely unique and allows her to put her handiwork into each piece.
