Imagine what will happen if you start the new year creatively! In our historic art museum filled with 5,000 years of world art, we’re convinced there is at least one piece of art that will resonate with you—and a number of ways of making art that will work for you. We have seen our classes build creative habits, grow design and conceptual skills, and make people happily content spinning wheels, weaving fibers, making friends and making art.
