Registration is requested to help us better prepare, but drop-ins will accepted. Come be part of a great community and discover a new hobby.

Join local artist, Lou Humphries, as she guides you on the art of Fancy Doodles and Zentangle. This artform puts pen-to-paper and provides an outlet to creativity while also being a relaxing art form. No artistic experience is necessary. Just a desire to relax and enjoy yourself while doodling to create some art pieces. All supplies are included. Cost is just $65 for the entire 4-week series.

During this workshop, you will create your own holiday story that can be shared for generations to come. Local author, Karen Watts, will lead you in a relaxed and pressure/stress-free environment. At the conclusion of the workshop, you’ll have the opportunity (if you wish) to share your story aloud and will leave with a gift that spans time.

Enjoy a relaxed and fun Friday afternoon learning how to prepare and present beautiful Charcuterie boards and platters for the Holiday Season.
