Welcome to GoggleWorks’ new fall offerings! You bring your curiosity and explore all the creativity we can offer. We are ready to welcome cooler fall days, fun fall classes, and many of you who have had to change plans over the past year and a half. We are thrilled to have our full slate of teachers back, opening new doors to you, and offering exciting new creative opportunities. Be it learning about your new camera, making sparks fly in a welding class, or creating a family heirloom in the metalsmithing or printmaking studio, we have endless opportunities to engage your creative side. Those of you with kids will find exciting new offerings for youth of every age. In addition to our one time Mini-Makers! offerings where you and your little one can get hands on with glass, clay, and wood, we have new multi-week offerings that can open a world of new experiences. With topics like comics, fused glass, and ceramics, you asked for more opportunities for kids so we provided. But we didn’t want kids to have all the fun. We have packed our fall catalog with just as much opportunity to inspire, excite, and engage the maker of every age! In addition to a great offering of classes, GoggleWorks will welcome back our Pumpkin Palooza event on October 10th and Arts Festival Reading on December 4th and 5th. This year, both events will be free and open to the public, so be sure to mark your calendars and stop by to see all the amazing things local artists have to offer. It’s safe to say it will be a busy fall around GoggleWorks. Now, as you get ready to venture into the catalog, try to keep one thing in mind…. You might not think of yourself as an “artist” yet, but if you are curious about new things, there is definitely something in here for you. Even the most famous of artists started somewhere, and with the help of amazing teachers and facilities like ours here in Reading, you can get your creative engine running. So take the plunge this fall and sample the excitement GoggleWorks has to offer.
