Have fun exploring the many different techniques one can use with watercolor pencils!

Watercolor pencils are a versatile medium because they can be used dry for colored-pencil effects, partially diluted, or completely diluted. These pencils are fun to use and can create smooth or textured artwork, and they’re a great way to become more comfortable with watercolor as a painting medium!

Accomplished artist Valerie Larson will be presenting examples of her own watercolor-pencil paintings, showcasing various techniques she uses. These techniques include mixing colors, creating paper palettes, and much more.

Students can bring their own photo for painting inspiration or follow along with the one provided in the workshop. You will also be working on Aquaboard, a clay-like surface made for watercolors.

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.

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.

Learn how to create luminous, atmospheric landscapes, and paint your own in Chrstine Raymond's signature process.

Inspired by her "4 the Love of Virginia" solo show, this special workshop pulls back the curtain on how Christine designs compositions, simplifies complex scenes, and uses light and color to create glowing, expressive landscapes.

You’ll learn the exact methods she uses in her own paintings—and create a piece in that same lyrical, light-filled style.
