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.

Ready to take your watercolor painting a little further? In this intermediate workshop, participants will build on their existing watercolor skills while exploring new ways to work with brush, color, water, and paper.
You’ll deepen your understanding of brush techniques, color mixing, paint application, and the dynamic relationship between water and pigment. Through experimentation and guided exercises, you’ll discover how the movement of water and paint can create beautiful and unexpected visual effects. We’ll also explore which materials and approaches to avoid—and why.
This workshop is an opportunity to loosen up, experiment, and develop greater confidence and control in your watercolor practice.
