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!

Introduction to Metal Clay with Janelle Delicata
February 21/22 10am-1:30 this is a 2-day workshop (due to firing time), Cost is $180/person please email Artsworthstudios@gmail.com to reserve your participation in the class. Metal clay is a clay-like substance composed of powered metal in an organic binder. When fired the organic binder burns off leaving pure metal. It is fun and easy to work with.
We will use a sterling silver clay (EZ .960) which has a low shrinkage rate and a longer working time. It takes textures well and can be finished with a high (tumbled) shine or a variety of patina effects. Included is a metal clay packet containing 25 grams (silver weight) of clay which is enough to make several pairs of earrings or pendants, depending on size. (I will have extra metal clay for purchase at current market prices.) Also feel free to bring any jewelry hardware you have like jump rings, ear wires or chains to finish you pieces but we will also have extra findings for purchase.
Please bring a notebook/sketchbook, pencil, ideas and curiosity. If you have something you would like to use as a texture please bring that. (lace, leaves, textured wood or paper, etc.) A light lunch of heart warming soup with bread and cheese will be provided, pls bring snacks you have special dietary needs.
