COME VISIT US

Welcome to GoggleWorks’ new offerings! We are excited to share our great lineup of classes with you. We are fighting off the winter blues with an amazing array of opportunities fit to get you trying something new and expanding your horizons. Be it painting your first masterpiece, making sparks fly in a welding class, or creating a family heirloom in the metalsmithing studio or woodshop, we have endless opportunities to engage your creative side. You can also come by and try something new at The Den by Sly Fox, see something new from our new teachers sharing their amazing talents, and with the new extended term you have up to fourteen weeks of artistic opportunity to explore. Now, our more eagle-eyed followers will notice that this time of year is when we have traditionally released our “winter” offerings, but by combining those classes into this spring catalog, we are excited to pack even more opportunity than normal into this catalog. This term, now running into April, will see the snow come and go, spring flowers rise, and offer four full months of creative opportunity. By setting our sights on sunnier days, we hope these classes will become the bright spot in your week, and get you through even the coldest of evenings. Lastly, before you jump into the classes, I want to take the opportunity to remind you to start this year off right. Take today to learn something new and invest in yourself! The skills you learn today build opportunities for tomorrow and reaching your potential is what GoggleWorks is all about. We want to invest in you and bring out that creative side you have always wanted to explore. Now, turn the page, and find the perfect adventure waiting for you. I look forward to seeing you around the studios soon. Tim Compton Artistic Director
