ADULT ART CLASSES

AGES 18+

Spend your leisure time on meaningful, engaging experiences.

Get away from the monotony of your normal routine and try something new and exciting by participating in one or more of our summer workshops for adults. Add a spark of creative joy to your summer by experiencing professionally crafted, fun art lessons where diversified, simple instructions help guide you through the completion of a unique art piece.

Each “concept based” art lesson provides a strong “jumping off point” in which to begin, but unstructured in the art making process, allowing for varied choices to be made by each individual no matter your experience or skill level. Sign up for a weekly course and/or our stand-alone event workshops and discover something new every time!

OPEN STUDIO (18-Adult)

The Hands Create Open Studio is a 2 hour block of time where self-motivation and independence are required. Adult artists can work on individual projects in a fun, light-filled space alongside other creatives, where inspiration, comradery, sharing of ideas and techniques are naturally manifested through impromptu critiques. Although there will be a Hands Create Art Instructor in the room as a facilitator, there will be no formalized instruction.  One must register for the entire course online, but will only be billed monthly. Therefore one may cancel anytime with a 30 day notice.
