Creative Art Studio

Have you ever wanted to get creative with a group but may have different artistic interests and abilities? These differences can make it challenging to find a class your entire group will enjoy.

We have the solution! Our Creative Art Studio gives each person the ability to choose from a menu of various creative activities. Activities will be changed every three months as well as feature local makers throughout the year.

We accept walk-ins but recommend reservations to guarantee your group is able to secure a table.

Policy & Guidelines

Time
Each session is a maximum of two hours which begins at the times listed on the event calendar. End times are mandatory to allow us to prep for the next group. Please arrive 10 minutes prior to the start time. If you have reserved a time for your party and are not present at the start time, your table may be given to a walk-in group.
Activities
All activities will be described on our website for your review. However, this may be subject to change based on popularity. Each activity is self guided. All supplies and detailed instructions will be provided to ensure success. Activities will use a range of mediums and will be suitable for a variety of skill levels. However, the Creative Art Studio is only available to patrons 14 years of age or older. Minors less than 18 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
Prepare
Some of the available activities can be messy! We recommend you wear appropriate clothing as we are not responsible for any stains or spills. The use of sharp objects like exacto knives and scissors may be required. If you struggle with dexterity, we recommend you choose a project that does not require these instruments. We are not responsible for any injury or accident that may occur. We have noted these activities to ensure your success!
