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!

3 separate stations so you can try all the different options of this fun dynamic workshop..#1) with Grace Otzwirk you will learn how to transfer an image onto a matrix, carve a linoleum block (safely), apply black ink to your carving, and will be rewarded with a unique block print of your favorite flower!
#2) with Lori Spruce you will be using Gelli plates with acrylic paint to create exquisite one of a kind monoprints. Please come with a sketchbook and your favorite special materials, papers (maps, old papers, book/music notes, etc), magazines, textures (botanical in nature are especially nice) and unconventional tools such as combs, cookie cutters, bubble wrap, rubber stamps, corrugated cardboard.
#3) with Astia Carrega you will be exploring a technique that artist Paul Gauguin pioneered in 1899. At the time, it was a new printing technique that he called oil transfer drawings Today it is called "Trace Monotypes". Inking glass plates with oil based etching inks and exploring different kinds of mark making through tools and pressure is a quick fun way to make interesting imagery.
