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!

    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.
