• each year on Veterans' Day weekend we host an open house
• periodic special events like gift making workshops
We mail out brochures two or three times a year listing the exciting range of classes and workshops we offer to adults and children. Periodically, we need to change the date of a class or we get an opportunity to add a special class or workshop. If you would like to be added to the snail mail and email list, please write to info@craftstudies.org and we will be happy to add you to the list.
Following are calendars listing the current adult and children's classes. Each medium is listed in a different color: clay, metal, and other media. Full descriptions are on the studio web page, which you can access by clicking on the studio name at the top of this page. Please also note the special open house and gift making workshops we are offering in the Fall.
