If glass art has always seemed like an intimidating venture, then this is the workshop for you! Join us for a fun class where you will create your own special glass keepsake.

In the workshop, students learn about the basics of kiln-formed, fused glass, and they will use what they learn to create their own 3” x 3” glass Whimsy. With Easter and Mother's Day on the horizon, designs will be centered around spring imagery, and will make the perfect gift for someone special!

Completed works will be photographed and logged by Maureen, and your Whimsy will then be tack-fused in Maureen’s home studio kiln. Once your piece is ready you can come back to the ARTfactory to pick it up.

Mother Nature's Revenge is a four-week horror writing course with a focus on eco-horror.

As temperatures rise and nature rebels, we'll be exploring this specific genre and how life finds a way...even when we really don't want it to!

We'll use this as a jumping off point for our own generative writing as we explore the horror genre in its many facets.

2026 is the year to give back to yourself, and these wellness workshops are a great place to start!

This will be a class centered on journaling as a form of wellness. I primarily journal during vacations and when I want to remember something, but anything can be journaling if you want it to be.

We’ll go over Notes App thoughts and quotes as well as how to finally start filling that journal that feels too pretty to use.
