Start the New Year with Creativity
Need a last-minute gift for someone special? Sign up for a River Arts class this winter. Adding a new skill for creative expression makes a fantastic gift and can spark a lifelong of passion for a new medium. Perhaps you missed out on developing a new pandemic hobby - so why not join our 6 week Slow Stitch Series or dedicate time for creative expression by attending a Meditate and Create. We’re still adding a few last minute classes, but now is the time to get yourself signed up for a workshop or class series!
Take a class from one of our monthly series:
Open Studio Figrue Drawing returns with a 1x per month session. Continue to develop your skills by working from a live model. Drop-ins welcome, but we will cancel the model if we don’t have at least 3 people pre-register for the session.
Sip N’ Slurry classes offer the opportunity to try a new skill in hand-building while relaxing with friends. We offer Sip N’ Slurries 1x per month (typically) and they often fill up! Sign up now with friends (4 people per table)!
Meditate and Create is a great time to recenter and reconnect to your creative side. This supported 1x per month class will offer a therapeutic opportunity to work creatively while making new connections with community members.
Paint & Sip or Print & Sip offers a fun relaxing Friday Night where everyone takes home a finished piece of art! Why drive to Burlington for a fun night out on the town when you can come to River Arts! We’ll Bob Ross you through a painting and everyone will take home a great new piece to cherish.
